摘要：

We report three fatal cases of bacteremia (two adults, one neonate) caused by Vibrio cholerae O1 (Ogawa), which occurred in the context of a community outbreak of cholera diarrhea in Blantyre, Malawi. Only four cases of invasive disease caused by V cholerae O1 have previously been reported. We describe the clinical features associated with these rare cases and discuss their significance.
