Abstract
Six patients with serious cellulitis or ear infection due to Vibrio vulnificus, V. parahaemolyticus or V. alginolyticus are described. Four patients were infected during the summer in the Netherlands and two outside the Netherlands. Contact with seawater was the most probable source in four patients. In two patients the infection, caused by V. vulnificus, was transmitted by eel. This is a new way of transmission.Entities:
