V. cholerae has presented us with many surprises in the 1990s. [doi.org]

• Exposure to Contaminated Water

  The pathogenic Vibrio species ( V. cholerae, V. parahaemolyticus, and V. vulnificus ) represent a constant threat to human health, causing foodborne and skin wound infections as a result of ingestion of or exposure to contaminated water and seafood. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• High Fever

  However, if the patient is ill and has a high fever or an underlying medical condition, oral antibiotic therapy with doxycycline or a quinolone can be initiated. [en.wikipedia.org]

• Orthostatic Hypotension

  The severity of the diarrhea caused the patient to have orthostatic hypotension and acute kidney injury, which improved with fluid resuscitation. The diarrhea resolved in 24-hours, and the patient was discharged without medications. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abstract l-asparaginase is used as a pivotal agent in treatment of lympho proliferative disorders and holds an excessive demand for food processing aids. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment Treatment is not necessary in most cases of V. parahaemolyticus infection. There is no evidence that antibiotic treatment decreases the severity or the length of the illness. [health.state.mn.us]

Treatment Antibiotic treatment is not usually needed for V. parahaemolytiticus gastro, however, in cases with prolonged diarrhoea, antibiotic therapy may be needed. [sahealth.sa.gov.au]

Without treatment, death can occur within hours, and the death rate can reach as high as 50 percent in regions where sanitary conditions are poor. With treatment, the death rate can be reduced to about 1 percent. [canada.ca]

Once a bloodstream infection occurs, the prognosis is grim: About 50 percent of V. vulnificus bloodstream infections are fatal, according to the Florida Department of Health. [livescience.com]

What's the prognosis? For the most part, a person who acquires an infection will recover and won’t experience any lasting long-term effects. [newsweek.com]

A Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium, V.cholerae is the etiological agent of cholera, a severe diarrheal disease that occurs most frequently in epidemic form. [uniprot.org]

More recently identified human pathogens, V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus, are now the predominant etiologies of human infections in developed countries. [frontiersin.org]

Edited by Stanley Falkow, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, and approved September 11, 1998 (received for review June 15, 1998) Abstract Vibrio cholerae, the etiologic agent of the diarrheal disease cholera, is a Gram-negative bacterium that belongs [doi.org]

This perception has had profound effects on all levels of global public health; cholera is now considered to be ineradicable because its etiological agent is ubiquitous in aquatic ecosystems ( 3, 5 ). [science.sciencemag.org]

The phenotypic, genetic, and epidemiological characteristics, of these new variants have been reviewed, with particular emphasis on the origin, significance and implications of these strains in the epidemiology of cholera. 12. [horizonpress.com]

CDC was asked to assist with the environmental and epidemiologic investigation. Investigators learned that both persons had consumed crayfish on June 20, 2010. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This underlines that local and pandemic lineages exhibit different epidemiological behaviors, and may occupy different ecological niches in Latin America. [science.sciencemag.org]

Pathogenesis and Pathophysiology For the most part, Vibrio infections occur when individuals/animals ingest contaminated foods or water sources. [microscopemaster.com]

METHODS: The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) developed a platform (the ECDC Vibrio Map Viewer) to monitor the environmental suitability of coastal waters for Vibrio spp. using remotely sensed SST and salinity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention Infections with V. parahaemolyticus can be prevented by the following measures: Exclude people with Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection from childcare, preschool, school and work until there has been no diarrhoea for 24 hours. [sahealth.sa.gov.au]

How Can You Prevent Vibrio Infection? The only way to prevent infection is to avoid contact with the water. However, the incidence of infection from swimming and other recreational activities in Maryland waters is relatively rare. [marylandhealthybeaches.com]
