Tuboovarian abscess caused by Edwardsiella tarda.

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.
