Acute Cholecystitis, Sepsis, and Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation Caused by Edwardsiella tarda in an Elderly Woman.
Tokai Journal of Experimental and Clinical Medicine 2021 April 21
Edwardsiella tarda is a gram-negative bacillus associated with gastrointestinal diseases. It is rarely responsible for sepsis; however, the fatality is very high. Only two cases of E. tarda infections in patients over 90 years of age have been reported; these are not cases of sepsis associated with acute cholecystitis. We report a case of acute cholecystitis, sepsis, and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) caused by E. tarda in a super-elderly woman aged over 90 years. There could be a possibility for recovery from sepsis and DIC if antimicrobial treatment responsiveness is ensured in the super-elderly.
