Aeromonas hydrophila (AH) is an aquatic bacterium. We present a case of fifty-five-year-old gentleman with chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to crescentic IgA nephropathy who presented to us with fever. He was recently pulsed with methyl prednisolone followed by oral prednisolone and discharged on maintenance dialysis through a double lumen dialysis catheter. Blood culture from peripheral vein and double lumen dialysis catheter grew AH. We speculate low immunity due to steroids and uremia along with touch contamination of dialysis catheter by the patient or dialysis nurse could have led to this rare infection. Dialysis catheter related infection by AH is rare. We present our case here and take the opportunity to give a brief review of AH infections in CKD patients.

Human Infections

Aeromonads are bacteria, found in water and soil, which cause a wide spectrum of human infections in normal and compromised hosts.1 Although primarily gastrointestinal pathogens, aeromonads also cause trauma-related infections of skin, soft tissue, muscle and bone, as well as non-trauma-related infections, including endocarditis.1-4 Gastrointestinal infections due to Aeromonas sp are frequently identified in Southeast Asia, India, and Australia3,5-7 but rarely in the United States.2,8 This report describes a case of profuse watery diarrhea due to Aeromonas hydrophila in a child from Maine. CASE REPORT A 5-month-old female infant with Down's syndrome and Hirschsprung's disease developed diarrhea and vomiting.
