Edwardsiella tarda is a bacterium that is associated with both an asymptomatic oral carrier state and self-limiting diarrhoeal illness in humans. We herein report a case of sepsis and liver abscess caused by E. tarda and review the patients with E. tarda sepsis who presented at our hospital. An 85-year-old woman developed enterocolitis and sepsis caused by E. tarda. She was administered intensive care and thus was able to soon show a good recovery, however, she subsequently developed a liver abscess. During a complicated course, she continued to be treated with antibiotics and after a successful course was discharged on the 44th day after admission.
