Yersinioses are zoonoses inspite of the fact, that the pathogen is rarely transferred directly from the animal to man, but mostly from contaminated food or contaminated surroundings. Enteritis or enterocolitis develop in most cases after infection with Y. enterocolitica (enteritic form), whereas pseudoappendicitis accompanied by massive mesenterial lymphadenitis of the ileocecal lymph nodes with or without the participation of adjacent parts of the intestine develops after infection with Y. pseudotuberculosis (pseudoappendicitic form). Some complications like arthritis and erythema nodosum occur rather frequently and may help to establish the diagnosis; septicemia occurs very rarely and is as yet lethal in 50% of cases. Confirmation of yersiniosis is in general not possible on clinical grounds only. Also microscopic as well as macroscopic morphological findings will allow a tentative diagnosis only. Confirmation must come from bacteriologic or serologic findings.

A case of meningitis by Yersinia enterocolitica in a patient with thalassemia major is described. The Yersinia has been identified both in the cerebrospinal fluid and in the feces. The clinic syndrome began with gastroenteritis and was suddenly complicated by septicemia and meningitis. In spite of a prompt and specific antibiotic therapy, the disease led the patient to death.

An insulin-dependent diabetic patient with liver abscess secondary to Yersinia enterocolitica without septicemia is described. He had the diagnosis established by transhepatic needle aspiration of the abscess cavity. Successful management was accomplished with antibiotic therapy alone.

A fatal case (a 55-yr-old man) of bacterial shock and sepsis following a transfusion with erythrocytes infected with Yersinia enterocolitica serotype 03, is reported. The blood donor had slight diarrhea 6 days before the blood donation. A serum sample from the donor showed high titre of both IgG and IgM antibodies against Y. enterocolitica 03, indicating a recent infection. Y. enterocolitica 03 was isolated from blood cultures from the patient. The remaining portion of the transfused erythrocyte concentrate also yielded abundant growth of the same organism on direct plating of the material on blood agar indicating that profuse multiplication of the organism had occurred within the transfusion bag during storage at 4 degrees C.

We discuss 25 cases of death observed from 1971 to 1983 in a casistic of 155 patients with Thalassaemic Syndrome. Anemia as a cause of death is disappearing, new triggers are involved such as Yersinia Enterocolitica who can cause severe sepsis even in non-splenectomized patients. Iron overload appears to be the most severe complication in the second decade.

A psoas muscle abscess due to Yersinia enterocolitica developed in a 71-year-old man with mild type II diabetes mellitus. There was no evidence of gastrointestinal infection or septicemia, and treatment with computed tomography-directed percutaneous drainage and cefoxitin resulted in cure. This represents the first known reported case of psoas abscess due to Y. enterocolitica.

Septicaemia occurred after accidental oral overdoses of iron in two previously healthy children. Yersinia enterocolitica serotype 0:3 was recovered from blood and stool cultures in both patients. Enhanced growth of Y enterocolitica in the intestine combined with damage of intestinal mucosa may have been of major importance for the development of generalised infection in these cases. Iron and the iron chelating agent desferrioxamine may possibly have a pathogenetic role in such circumstances.

Yersinia enterocolitica is the cause of gastrointestinal infection in the overwhelming majority of recognized cases, although extraintestinal sites are occasionally involved. We report a case of Y. enterocolitica septicemia and empyema complicated by the adult respiratory distress syndrome. The organism was also recovered from the patient's feces by alkaline enrichment and persisted through at least 19 days of antibiotic treatment.

The Authors describe a rare case of Yersinia Enterocolitica (Y.E.) infection in a child affected by thalassemia. The onset of the disease was that of an acute enteritis with diarrhea, fever, vomiting and abdominal pain which subsequently evolved in a picture consistent with an acute appendicitis. Laparotomy was then performed and showed a marked suppurative mesenterial lymphadenitis with mild appendicular inflammation and Y.E. infection was suspected. Culture from lymphonodes confirmed the presence of Y.E. sensitive to tobramicin and CTM. The use of these chemiotherapic agents has been followed by a rapid clinical improvement. Our recent experience could suggest some practical considerations: 1) Culture of Y.E. should be routinely performed in all children affected by acute gastroenteritis and particularly in those, above 5 years of age, in which the infection can simulate acute appendicitis. 2) Special attention should be carried out in children affected by thalassemia who can easily present more serious disease often complicated by septicemia. 3) Therapy depends on the form and severity of the disease and should be always guided by in vitro sensitivity test because of the possibility of resistence of Y.E. against the most frequently used antibiotics in septicemia.

The successful isolation of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis from the stool of an asymptomatic family member of a patient with yersinia septicemia is presented. Cold enrichment permitted the isolation after 4 weeks of refrigerator incubatio,.
