Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection may result in symptoms like diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, fever, and chills, typically lasting two to three days. Though often mild or moderate, a few cases may necessitate hospitalization - largely affecting children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems.
In case you are experiencing vibrio symptoms, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance.
