A 62-year-old male with a history of alcohol abuse was admitted with a headache and rapidly progressing altered consciousness that led to coma over several hours. Blood and cerebrospinal fluid cultures were positive for Edwardsiella tarda . Despite prompt treatment initiation, the patient died on the third hospital day.
