Yersinia
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]
- We report the case of a man, who presented with mesenteric adenitis initially due to a Yersinia pseudotubercolosis infection, who was later diagnosed with Crohn's disease.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Some forms present with liver and spleen abscesses and have worse prognosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Here, we present an overview of how Yersinia and host factors are integrated in a regulatory network that orchestrates the subversion of host defense.[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]
Vietnamese

Right Lower Quadrant Tenderness

- It has been present in the rodents of western North America ever since, as fear of the consequences of the outbreak on trade caused authorities to hide the dead of the Chinatown residents long enough for the disease to be passed to widespread species[en.wikipedia.org]
Neurologic
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]

- 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]
- So far, surgical resection has been the only curative treatment, but new options became available with the application of imatinib (Glivec) as a specific molecular inhibitor.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Identifying Yersinia affects the role and choice of antibiotics in a child's treatment regimen.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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]
