Abstract

In March 1994, a California woman without any recent travel developed acute, profuse, watery diarrhea. Her astute physician diagnosed cholera after ordering the appropriate stool culture, and the patient improved on an oral antibiotic. Epidemiologic investigation implicated seaweed from the Philippines that was transported by a friend to California and subsequently eaten raw as the vehicle of infection.
