| Popis: | Edwardsiella tarda is commonly isolated from aquatic environments and a variety of animals. We present the first case of E. tarda bacteremia with psoas and epidural abscess. The patient was a 65-year-old woman with recurrent gastric cancer who had frequently consumed raw fish and grilled eel. She was successfully treated with antimicrobials and surgery. We also review reports published in English regarding E. tarda bacteremia in Japan and the experience at our hospital. On the basis of this review, we conclude that the major underlying disease leading to E. tarda bacteremia is malignancy and that the gastrointestinal tract is the most commonly affected organ. The overall mortality rate due to E. tarda bacteremia in our review was 38.1% (8/21). Although E. tarda bacteremia is rare, clinicians should be aware of this fatal food-borne infection. |
