Abstract

Abstract Aeromonas species can be the source of severe infections in immunocompromised individuals. We present a case of a 35-year-old pregnant patient who developed postpartum septic shock and acute decompensated heart failure in the setting of Aeromonas hydrophilia peritonitis and bacteremia. Her severe presentation was thought to have occurred secondary to underlying liver dysfunction and preeclampsia. We additionally discuss the common presentations and sources of Aeromonas infections along with risk factors for severe systemic disease.
