title: Severe diarrhoea caused by Aeromonas veronii biovar sobria in a patient with metastasised GIST.
abstract: This report describes the isolation of Aeromonas veronii biovar sobria as the causative enteropathogen of diarrhoea in an oncological patient after failure of detection of other infectious agents. The case points out the severe and long course of the infection, the diagnostic dilemma, and the prompt recovery after antibiotic treatment.
