Gastroenteritis is the most common manifestation of\n E. tarda<\/jats:italic>\n infection. However, extraintestinal infections can occur in immunocompromised hosts as well as patients with hepatobiliary disease, malignancy, and\/or diabetes mellites. The prognosis of sepsis caused by\n E. tarda<\/jats:italic>\n is extremely poor, with a mortality rate of 38%. Here we report the occurrence of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis associated with\n E. tarda<\/jats:italic>\n infection.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Presentation of case<\/jats:title>\n \n An 87-year-old man with Child\u2013Pugh A cirrhosis secondary to hepatitis C virus infection presented with diarrhea and sudden-onset pain in the abdomen. On arrival, guarding and rebound tenderness were observed over the entire abdomen. Computed tomography revealed circumferential thickening of the cecum and a small volume of ascites in the pelvic cavity. A diagnosis of peritonitis was made, and surgery was performed. Surgical findings included redness and thickening of the cecal wall and purulent ascites without intestinal contents. Peritoneal fluid culture revealed\n E. tarda<\/jats:italic>\n as the sole pathogen. The abdominal cavity was washed, a drain was placed in the pelvic cavity, and postoperative intravenous antibiotic therapy was initiated. The postoperative course was uneventful.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Discussion<\/jats:title>\n \n E. tarda<\/jats:italic>\n infection in the presence of an underlying disease such as hepatobiliary disease, malignancy, and\/or diabetes mellitus has a poor prognosis.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n \n Although\n E. tarda<\/jats:italic>\n infection is extremely rare, it is a life-threatening illness that can cause intestinal and extraintestinal infections. If necessary, early surgical intervention should be considered for cases of extraintestinal infection.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Highlights<\/jats:title>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2020.09.126","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,23]],"date-time":"2020-09-23T12:32:35Z","timestamp":1600864355000},"page":"422-425","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis caused by Edwardsiella tarda"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"75","author":[{"given":"Hirokatsu","family":"Hayashi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yusuke","family":"Murase","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hitoya","family":"Sano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kimitosi","family":"Nishio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Iwao","family":"Kumazawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-95-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"742","DOI":"10.1093\/clinids\/17.4.742","article-title":"Infections associated with the genus Edwardsiella: the role of Edwardsiella tarda in human disease","volume":"17","author":"Janda","year":"1993","journal-title":"Clin.
