Abstract
We report a 70-year-old woman, who had recently consumed shellfish, that was admitted to the intensive care unit with septic shock and died 19 hours later due to a multi-organic failure. Microbiological, serological and molecular assays confirmed a hemolytic tdh+ Vibrio cholerae non-01, non 0139 as the etiologic agent.
