Abstract：
Human infection caused by bacteria of the Edwardsiella genus is rare and most often presents with gastroenteritis that rarely requires antibiotics. Our case report describes a medically complex patient with chronic steroid use contributing to an immunocompromised state, who presented with fever and abdominal pain. The patient was later found to have Edwardsiella tarda (E. tarda) bacteremia and underwent paracentesis confirming E. tarda bacterial peritonitis requiring a prolonged antibiotic course. This case report aims to illustrate the presentation, diagnosis, and management of an uncommon infection that can have severe complications especially among immunocompromised patients.
摘要：
由Edwardsiella属细菌引起的人类感染很少见，最常出现胃肠炎，很少需要抗生素。我们的病例报告描述了一个医学复杂的患者，长期使用类固醇导致免疫受损状态，发烧和腹痛。该患者后来被发现患有塔达爱德华氏菌(E.tarda）菌血症，并进行了穿刺术，证实了塔达细菌性腹膜炎需要延长抗生素疗程。本案例报告旨在说明演示文稿，诊断,以及可引起严重并发症的罕见感染的管理，尤其是在免疫功能低下的患者中。
