Maternal peripartum septic shock caused by intrauterine infection with Edwardsiella tarda: A case report and review of the literature.
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research 2018 January
Edwardsiella tarda (E. tarda) is a rare pathogen in humans, especially during the peripartum period. Only a few cases of fatal neonatal infection with E. tarda have been reported. Herein, we describe a case of maternal septicemia caused by E. tarda following peripartum chorioamnionitis. The mother developed septic shock, disseminated intravascular coagulation and a post-cesarean wound hematoma with abscess. Her condition improved with multidisciplinary therapy including blood transfusion, antimicrobial agents, recombinant thrombomodulin and surgical debridement. E. tarda was isolated from the maternal blood, cesarean wound and neonatal skin, pharynx and gastric fluid. This case demonstrates that peripartum infection with E. tarda is a rare but life-threatening condition, not only for the neonate but also for the mother.
