Thoracic Spondylitis Associated with Sepsis and Neurological Deficit Caused by <i>Edwardsiella tarda</i>: A Case Report

“…Although the total number of cases is small, a few cases of musculoskeletal system infections caused by E. tarda have been reported [4][5][6][7][8][9] (Table 1). Most previously reported patients with musculoskeletal E. tarda infection had gastroenteritis or localized wound infections.…”

“…Most previously reported patients with musculoskeletal E. tarda infection had gastroenteritis or localized wound infections. One report showed that gastroenteritis caused by E. tarda could have progressed to extraintestinal dissemination via the bloodstream 9 . To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of E. tarda infection with thoracic spondylitis and a…”
