Abstract
The case of a 25-year-old patient is reported who suffered from a syndrome similar to immune complex disease following cholera revaccination. The clinical picture included fever, muscle, joint and abdominal pain, vomiting, serositis, hepatitis, suspected myocarditis, anaemia and thrombocytopenia. Clinical symptoms subsided spontaneously within two weeks. This case illustrates a hazard of cholera vaccination so far not reported in the literature.
