Presentation
It is seen frequently in infants and young children who can present with severe, often life-threatening symptoms. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
However, genomic sequencing has uncovered a host of other adhesins present in these organisms, the functions of which are only starting to be investigated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Plethora
A large repertoire of RNA-based regulatory mechanisms, including a plethora of cis- and trans-acting noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), sensory RNA elements, regulatory RNA-binding proteins, and RNA-degrading enzymes have been uncovered lately as key players in [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A 49 years old Vietnamese male with a history of thalassemia, presented with gastrointestinal symptoms and signs of hemolysis. He was diagnosed with yersinia enterocolitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Right Lower Quadrant Tenderness
In older children, a pseudoappendicitis-like picture may be encountered with fever, abdominal pain, right lower quadrant tenderness, arthritis, and leukocytosis, similar to those in the present case. 7 10–15 Atypically, Y enterocolitica may cause a pharyngitis [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

Excitement
Importantly, the analysis of Yersinia riboregulators has not only uncovered crucial elements and regulatory mechanisms governing host-pathogen interactions, it also revealed exciting new venues for the design of novel anti-infectives. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
(See Pathophysiology, Etiology, Clinical Presentation, and Workup.) [7, 8] Classification Y enterocolitica is classified according to various distinct biochemical and serologic reactions. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment

Although the prognosis is not good in such cases, with high mortality rates, our patient recovered from the disease with appropriate treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Faeces, biopsy specimens (by sigmoidoscopy), and serum were taken at the start, at regular intervals, and after treatment. [ard.bmj.com]
Prognosis
Some forms present with liver and spleen abscesses and have worse prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis Yersiniosis is usually either self-limited or is responsive to therapy; however, reinfection is possible. Most patients with Y enterocolitica infection are symptomatic; however, asymptomatic carriage may occur. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Every year, thousands of cases of the plague are still reported to the World Health Organization, although with proper treatment, the prognosis for victims is now much better. [en.wikipedia.org]

Epidemiology of Yersinia Yersinia enterocolitica is transmitted via the fecal-oral route and is most often transmitted by eating or drinking food or water that has been contaminated by contact with infected animals or people. [ehagroup.com]

Pathophysiology As with other members of the genus Yersinia, Y enterocolitica is an invasive organism that appears to cause disease by tissue destruction. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Pathophysiology One usually acquires Yersinia pseudotuberculosis from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract after consumption of contaminated food. A large inoculum is usually required to produce disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention
YopK has been shown to control Yop translocation and prevent inflammasome recognition of the T3SS by the innate immune system. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
