RESUMO
Vibrio cholerae represents diverse species and includes pathogenic and non-pathogenic variants. Particularly serogroups O1 and O139 are related to cholera epidemics, while non-O1/O139 serogroups (NOVC) in general are non-pathogenic or asymptomatic colonizers in humans, but also can cause different diseases. Vibrio albensis, a non-O1/non-O-139 serogroup, is rarely implicated in human infections. Only a few cases of human pathology related to this species are described in the literature. We present the menagement of V. albensis gastroenteritis in a a 47-year-old woman and discuss clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatement.
