Abstract
To describe a patient who developed diarrhea secondary to Cyanobacterialike bodies (CLBs) after exposure to contaminated water in his home. Case report. General community. Healthy, elderly man. None, self-limited illness. The patient's clinical course was consistent with illness caused by CLBs.
