Vibrio Cholerae Colonisation in a Case of Bilateral Cystic Bronchiectasis in an Immunocompetent Male

Abstract

Non O1 and non O139 strains of Vibrio cholerae are often nontoxigenic and tend to cause extraintestinal infections such as wound infections, external ear infection, sepsis, epidural and subdural abbesses. We herein describe an unusual presentation where there is colonisation of Vibrio cholerae in a case of bilateral cystic bronchiectasis in an immunocompetent male.
