“…Invasive diseases caused by Vibrio cholerae O1 have been related to achlorydria, autoimmune disease and chemotherapy in other publications [11], but in the present case those factors were not present, only an acute myocardial infarction, with no further cause of immunesuppression. The cause of the appearance of this invasive disease was not determined since, apart from the fact that the patient was not immunosuppressed, we are not in period of epidemic cholera and the patient's sanitary and living conditions were good.…”

“…Its full genome was described in the year 2000 and considered the starting point for an understanding of how a free-living agent may become a bacterial pathogen with great clinical significance in humans [12]. The latest literature reports for blood culture isolates of Vibrio cholerae O1 were described in 2001, but they belonged to the Ogawa biotype [11].…”

Vibrio cholerae O139 is well known as the causative agent of cholera. It is noninvasive but many reports suggested it to cause bacteremia which brings in a little controversy with the previously reported old literature especially after reported histopathological invasion pattern of Vibrio cholerae O139 and Vibrio cholerae O1 ElTor. The rabbits were processes for ileac loops inoculation of Vibrio cholerae O139 followed by biochemical and molecular analysis of the presence of Vibrio cholerae O139 in liver, gall bladder and bile. We concluded the presence of Vibrio cholerae in liver, bile and gall bladder homogenized tissue. Retrograde spreading of bacteria to the liver via the common bile duct was excluded by complete closure of the intestinal lumen distant to the duct in the intestinal lumen. However, the bacteria might traffic, probably via macrophages, to distant area in the body including the liver. Another study in future is a need to identify the lesions of Vibrio cholerae invasions within liver and gall bladder by immunohistochemistry and using GFP visibility for Vibrio cholerae passage.

“…To our knowledge, this is only the third report of invasive V. cholerae in a neonate. [2][3][4][5] Case Report A 3-day-old girl was admitted to Bahonar Children's Hospital, Karaj with diarrhoea and severe dehydration. She was a fullterm vaginal delivery and weighed 2900 g. Her mother had had mild diarrhoea for 3 days before delivery which had continued during delivery and for 2 days postnatally.…”
