Abstract
The objective of this paper is to report a rare case of Vibrio vulnificus presenting as meningoencephalitis without a wound infection. Vibrio vulnificus is capable of causing severe and often fatal infections in susceptible individuals. It commonly causes necrotizing wound infections, primary septicemia, and gastroenteritis. A 69-year-old man had meningoencephalitis with lesion on the red nucleus, substantia nigra, basal ganglia, and dentate nucleus as the initial clinical manifestation of a V. vulnificus infection. This is the first case of V. vulnificus infection in which MRI demonstrated the involvement of deep nuclei of the brain.
