Abstrakt: Non-O1/non-O139 Vibrio cholerae (NOVC) strains are a distinct group of Vibrio cholerae that do not cause epidemic cholera. NOVC infections usually cause mild forms of gastroenteritis, and rarely severe (extra)intestinal infections, mostly affecting immunocompromised patients. Here, we describe the clinical course of a patient with NOVC bacteremia causing multiple liver abscesses, after drinking from a freshwater well in a non-coastal area. This case highlights the potential of a V. cholerae strain, that is phylogenetically distinct from the current pandemic cholera strain, to cause severe extra-intestinal infections, including liver abscesses.
