Vibrio hollisae, hydropneumothoraxAbstract
Introduction: Vibrio hollisae is a bacterium that is commonly responsible of digestive infections but in very rare cases, it can be isolated in other biological liquid.
Case report: This case report is about a young man who suffered from an hydropneumothorax infected by Vibrio hollisae, following a chylous pleurisy drainage. The patient improved after surgical drainage and adequate antibiotherapy.
Discussion and conclusion: Our case rises awareness of the exra-intersinal localisation of vibrio hollisae. The microbiologist should know that it may not grow in MacConkey plate agar even if it’s a gram-negative bacillus. The best growth is obtained with sheep blood agar plate.
