Abstract : Abstract: Vibrio cholerae (V. cholerae) strains are usually divided into O1 and non-O1 serogroups according to the different antigens that they synthesize. Vibrio cholerae species cause gastrointestinal infections (especially O1), or extra-intestinal infections (particularly non-O1). There has been several reports of bacteremia and other septic conditions associated with non-O1 V. cholerae, many of these infections have followed a fatal course, presenting as a fulminant septicemia in patients with liver cirrhosis, who had ingested raw or undercooked seafood. In this report, we present the case of a Saudi male with Lawrence Moon Biedl syndrome, cirrhosis and diabetes mellitus (DM), who developed fatal septicemia caused by non-O1 V. cholerae.
