Vibrio fluvialis is a foodborne pathogen known to cause a cholera-like gastroenteritis syndrome. Here we report the first case of V. fluvialis liver abscess and bacteremia presumed to be from sashimi, a Japanese raw seafood delicacy. We also provide a literature review of reported cases of V. fluvialis extra-intestinal diseases including bacteremia.
