[Post nearly Drowning Vibrio alginolyticus Septicemia Acquired in Reunion (Indian Ocean)]. / Septicémie à Vibrio alginolyticus au décours d'une presque noyade à La Réunion (océan Indien).

AbstractWe report the first case of Vibrio alginolyticus septicemia in the Indian Ocean (Reunion Island), in a patient (70-year-old-man) with multiple underlying conditions, following a nearly drowning in the lagoon of Reunion. From now on, V. alginolyticus should be considered as a possible agent of septicemia in the Indian Ocean, particularly following marine activities.
