    Area of Science:

    • Medical Microbiology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Mesenteric lymphadenitis is an inflammation of the lymph nodes in the abdomen.
    • Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is a bacterium that can cause various infections, including gastrointestinal illness.
    • This condition is often mistaken for appendicitis.

    Observation:

    • A case of mesenteric lymphadenitis in a young adult is presented.
    • The patient's lymph nodes showed characteristic histological changes.
    • Diagnosis was supported by serological testing for Yersinia pseudotuberculosis.

    Findings:

    • Histological examination of mesenteric lymph nodes confirmed inflammation.
    • Serological tests positively identified Yersinia pseudotuberculosis as the causative agent.
    • This represents the first documented case of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis-induced mesenteric lymphadenitis in Israel.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain, especially in endemic regions.
    • Contributes to the understanding of the geographical distribution and clinical presentation of Yersinia infections.
    • Emphasizes the utility of combined histological and serological methods for accurate diagnosis.
