VIBRIO FETUS INFECTION IN MAN:
I. TEN NEW CASES AND SOME EPIDEMIOLOGIC OBSERVATIONS1
Bokkenheuser, V. (Dept. Pathology, St. Luke's Hospital Center, New York, N. Y. 10025). Vibrio fetus infection in man. I. Ten new cases and some epidemiologic observations. Amer. J. Epid., 1970, 91: 400–409.—Ten cases of V. fetus infection in man, nine of which occurred in New York City, are briefly described. At least 74 confirmed cases have now been published. Based on this material it was found that: 1) the disease occurs in many parts of the world; 2) two-thirds of the cases have been reported from the USA; the disease occurs in many parts of the country, but about one-third of the USA cases are from the State of New York; 3) the disease affects infants, pregnant women, and elderly individuals, particularly males; 4) it is rare between infancy and puberty; 5) infected individuals older than 45 usually suffer from predisposing debilitating disorders; 6) the organisms have rarely, if ever, been isolated from mixed flora of man; 7) infection with "related vibrios" may present a fairly specific clinical picture characterized by acute enteritis and bacteremia, particularly in the infant; 8) clinical and bacteriologic relapse of the infection may occur unless antibiotics are administered for a prolonged period of time, probably about four weeks.
