Vibrio alginolyticus is a rare pathogenic organism that has been associated with seawater contact causing gastrointestinal disease in most cases and in a narrower spectrum, otitis media, and externa. Here, we report an 8-year-old male child who presented with tympanostomy tube otorrhea caused by V. alginolyticus although his family reported strict water precaution adherence without any exposure to swimming pools nor seawater. Before this presentation, he had multiple otological and respiratory complaints since his birth, and he was investigated for primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), for which nasal biopsy was done and returned negative. However, genetic panel testing was positive and confirmed PCD.
