A CASE OF VIBRIO CHOLERAE MENINGITIS IN A NEONATE

Abstract

Bacteraemia resulting due to vibrio cholera can lead to invasive disease such as septicemia and meningitis in the neonatal age group especially in immunosuppressed population. Vibrio cholera is known to cause diarrhoeal illness in adults and children but very rarely, it causes infection in neonates. We report a case of septicemia with meningitis due to vibrio cholera in a neonate at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital (IAH), New Delhi.
