Abstract

We report the case ofa 76-year-old man who had bacteremia due to Edwardsiella tarda during the course ofchemotherapy, including ponatinib, for the treatment of recurrent Philadelphia-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Treatment with cefepime improved his general condition. The number ofreported cases ofbacteremia due to Edwardsiella tarda is limited. Further accumulation ofcases is necessary to obtain accurate data such as the risk factors of Edwardsiella tarda bacteremia.
