Presentation
Patients normally present with symptoms similar to those of appendicitis, due to mesenteric adenitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Camping
The cAMP and CRP concentrations used for the assay are indicated. [doi.org]
- 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]
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]
Workup
Microbiology
- Chlamydia
We report a case of reactive polyarthritis in which serological evidence of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis infection was found in the absence of the other common precipitating organisms, such as Chlamydia spp, Klebsiella spp, Shigella spp, Campylobacter [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Chlamydia Trachomatis
In addition (-)-hopeaphenol reduced cell entry and subsequent intracellular growth of Chlamydia trachomatis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Colonoscopy
- Colonic Ulcer
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]
Treatment
Infection usually becomes apparent 5–10 days after exposure and typically lasts 1–3 weeks without treatment. [wikidoc.org]
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]
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]
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]
We conducted epidemiological, microbiological and traceback investigations to identify the source. [eurosurveillance.org]
Pathophysiology
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]

In this study, we investigated the mechanism by which Y. enterocolitica prevents macrophage tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) production. [doi.org]
