Edwardsiella tarda infections are uncommon and have often been reported in association with pet reptiles. The majority of these infections occur as gastrointestinal disorders in immunocompromised hosts. We believe this to be the first reported American case of tuboovarian abscess caused by this organism in an otherwise healthy woman whose only known exposure was to raw seafood. This patient had fever and lower abdominal pain caused by a severe Edwardsiella tarda pelvic abscess that required surgical drainage and intravenous antibiotics for complete recovery.
迟缓爱德华菌感染并不常见，常与宠物爬行动物有关。这些感染大多发生在免疫功能低下的宿主身上，表现为胃肠道疾病。我们认为这是美国首例报道的由该病原体引起的输卵管卵巢脓肿病例，患者为一名身体健康的女性，唯一已知的接触源是生海鲜。该患者因严重的迟缓爱德华菌盆腔脓肿出现发热和下腹痛，需要手术引流和静脉注射抗生素才能完全康复。
