- Abstract
The article presents a case study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about the occurrence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus infections in people in New York, Oregon, and Washington after they ate raw shellfish. Vibrio parahaemolyticus infections cause gastroenteritis marked by diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea, and vomiting. A confirmed case of Vibrio parahaemolyticus is diagnosed by isolation of the Vibrio parahaemolyticus bacteria from a patient's stool. Shellfish harvest areas are monitored to help prevent Vibrio parahaemolyticus infections.
