title: Vibrio fluvialis: an underrecognized enteric pathogen in infants?
abstract: We report a case of Vibrio fluvialis gastroenteritis in an infants 3 1/2 weeks old. The case was unusual because no likely epidemiologic risk factors were involved. Since several other such cases in young infants have been reported, V fluvialis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of infantile gastroenteritis.
