title: Pancreatic abscess due to Aeromonas hydrophila.
abstract: Aeromonas hydrophila is an uncommon cause of deep-seated infection in man. We present what we believe to be the first reported case of a pancreatic abscess due to A. hydrophila. The outcome of this case attests to the potentially lethal nature of infection that can occur with this organism.
