Chronic Diarrhea Associated with Edwardsiella Tarda Gastroenteritis: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Edwardsiella tarda , a Gram-negative bacterium classified into the genus Enterobacteriaceae, causes self-limited gastroenteritis. Here, we report a case of E. tarda gastroenteritis in a previously healthy 12-year-old boy in whom inflammatory bowel disease was precluded by endoscopy and tissue biopsy due to 3-month history of diarrhea, abdominal pain and weight loss.
