Presentation
Patients normally present with symptoms similar to those of appendicitis, due to mesenteric adenitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

-
Goiter
Extracts containing hTSHR were isolated from surgical thyroid tissue of patients with clinical and diagnostic signs of diffuse toxic goiter. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Increased Susceptibility to Infections
We propose that, because of defects in mucosal barrier function and immunological function, patients with Crohn's may have increased susceptibility to infection by Yersinia sp. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Fever of Unknown Origin
The patient had no history of immunosuppression and presented with a repeat case of haemarthrosis with a fever of unknown origin. Furthermore, he suffered from acute-on-chronic renal failure and non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Respiratoric

Polydipsia
Abstract A case concerning a young man presenting with polyuria and polydipsia which were preceded 1 month earlier by a febrile enteritis is reported. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Recurrent Vomiting
He had fever for 5 days after recurrent vomiting and diarrhea. Computed tomography scan was normal, but electroencephalogram (EEG) analyses showed generalized slow wave patterns. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Jaw & Teeth

Aphthous Ulceration
Colonoscopic examination revealed aphthous ulcers in the right colon, and mucosal biopsy culture grew Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. This case documents right colonic ulcers and bloody diarrhea with Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
-
Encephalopathy
We report the case of a 28-month-old boy with encephalopathy and acute tubulointerstitial nephritis possibly associated with Yersinia pseudotuberculosis (Yp) infection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Urine
-
Pyuria
The girl presented with remittent fever, vomiting and non-oliguric acute renal failure with sterile pyuria and tubular reabsorptive dysfunction. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Serum
-
Abnormal Renal Function
Ultrasound examination revealed that the kidneys were markedly enlarged with diffuse hyperechogenicity in the cortex when the abnormal renal function was present and were restored in size and echogenicity when the renal function normalised. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Colonoscopy
-
Colonic Ulcer
This case documents right colonic ulcers and bloody diarrhea with Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
The Y. pseudotuberculosis septicaemia responded well to treatment with doxycycline orally, but the patient died 2 weeks later because of excessive bleeding from varicose veins of the oesophagus. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Infection usually becomes apparent 5–10 days after exposure and typically lasts 1–3 weeks without treatment. [wikidoc.org]
Prognosis
Prognosis Most pseudotuberculosis cases are either minimally symptomatic or self-limited. [emedicine.com]
Etiology
Abstract Enteropathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis are both etiological agents for intestinal infection known as yersiniosis, but their epidemiology and ecology bear many differences. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Y pseudotuberculosis has also been implicated in the etiology of some cases of Kawasaki disease. [6] Because of its 97% DNA homology with the agent that causes plague, Yersinia pestis, Y pseudotuberculosis is believed to have been the progenitor of the [emedicine.com]
Rarely, it has been associated with sepsis. [1] [2] [3] Etiology United States No specific pattern of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis infection has been reported. [statpearls.com]
Epidemiology
The development of a fast and inexpensive typing system is necessary to facilitate epidemiological studies of Y. pseudotuberculosis infections. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology
[…] progenitor of the plague bacillus and is considered a model of bacterial evolution. [7] More optimistically, a specific strain of Y pseudotuberculosis, IP32953, has been modified into a potentially promising vaccine against bubonic and pneumonic plague. [8] Pathophysiology [emedicine.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. [statpearls.com]
The clinical pathophysiology of Y. pseudotuberculosis has many similarities to that of infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes, which are each known to produce a superantigen ( 38 ). [doi.org]
