Abstract We experienced an outbreak of food poisoning caused by vibrio parahaemolytics. On September 9, 1991, 15 patients were scheduled for elective surgery, but 9 of them had symptoms of watery diarrhea, abdominal pain and fever. General conditions were worse in elder patients because of dehydration. Except for one patient scheduled for lung carcinoma lobectomy, eight operations were canceled. The source of food poisoning was determined to be crab meat served for dinner on September 7. Vibrio parahaemolytics is a common organism that causes food poisoning in Japan. We must be careful of the cytotoxic effects of direct thermostable hemolysin produced by vibrio parahaemolytics. We recommend that when an outbreak is suspected in patients who are scheduled for surgery, the feces be examined for organisms immediately, and that the operation be delayed at least two days until the factors of food poisoning are determined.
