Een patiënt met acute secretoire diarree door een autochtone infectie met Vibrio parahaemolyticus

- The case history is reported of a man aged 59 years who became ill with an acute cholera-like diarrhoea 48 hours after ingestion of a mackerel from Dutch coastal waters. The fish had been prepared in a wrong way by omitting the phase of steaming before smoking. From the stools Vibrio parahaemolyticus was cultured. This is the first report of an autochthonous infection with this micro-organism in The Netherlands.
