Abstract

Vibrio cholerae, typically associated with cholera, rarely causes invasive disease. This case report describes a 59-year-old man with pancreatectomy, splenectomy and diabetes, admitted with nontoxigenic V. cholerae O1 bacteraemia after returning from Sri Lanka, with suspected exposure, including contaminated well water. He presented with fever, upper abdominal pain, and elevated inflammatory, liver, and biliary markers. CT findings and clinical history raised suspicion of cholangitis. Targeted ciprofloxacin led to full recovery. This case highlights the invasive potential of nontoxigenic V. cholerae O1.
