Sumario:BACKGROUND: An elderly male with underlying Hepatocellular carcinoma came with history of fall with head and ear trauma, vomiting, abdominal pain, fatigue. Patient died within hours due to Septic shock Blood culture grew Non O1/O139 Vibrio cholerae which was later found to be non-toxigenic. This was a lethal case of non-O1/non-O139 V. cholerae sepsis and we focus on the dilemmas in identification and management of this rare bacterium.
