Diarrhea associated with Vibrio fluvialis in the United States.
We report the isolation in the United States of Vibrio fluvialis from the stools of a patient who had severe watery diarrhea without fever and who subsequently died. V. fluvialis, a known enteric pathogen in other parts of the world, should be suspected in patients with watery diarrhea, especially in coastal areas.
