  • Title: Vibrio vulnificus sepsis after eating raw oysters.
    Author: Stahr B, Threadgill ST, Overman TL, Noble RC.
    Journal: J Ky Med Assoc; 1989 May; 87(5):219-22. PubMed ID: 2723530.
    Abstract:
    Vibrio vulnificus, a marine vibrio found in coastal waters of the United States, may contaminate certain seafoods, particularly raw oysters. Patients with underlying liver disease are particularly susceptible to severe illness. Unexplained febrile diseases in patients who have eaten raw oysters may be caused by Vibrio vulnificus. A fatal and a nonfatal case are reported in two such patients. These patients are the first two reported cases of Vibrio vulnificus infection in Kentucky.
