Edwardsiella tarda (E. tarda) is a rare human pathogen; however, the overall mortality of bacteremia is reported to be up to 50%. Here, we describe a case of cholangitis with E. tarda bacteremia who had a pancreatoduodenectomy for a locally advanced gastric cancer. He was successfully treated using a cefmetazole, a second generation cephalosporin for 14days. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report about E. tarda bacteremia after biliary reconstruction.
