Abstract

Vibrio cholerae is the culprit behind many endemics globally. Classically characterized by profuse diarrhea with a "rice water" description, cholera can be fatal if not treated promptly. However, infected individuals can present with little to no symptoms. These individuals allow for a carrier state and play a large part in the survival of an endemic. Asymptomatic patients can present in areas where Cholera is not endemic. Herein, we present an atypical case of vibrio chloerae infection without diarrhea in the setting of large bowel obstruction secondary to colon cancer. We aim to highlight the unusual presentation of a cholera infection.
