Yersinia enterocolitica septicemia.

L M Caplan, M L Dobson, H Dorkin

    American Journal of Clinical Pathology
    |February 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Yersinia enterocolitica caused sepsis in an infant, which is unusual given the patient's age. The lack of typical gastrointestinal symptoms made identifying the infection source challenging.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical microbiology
    • Pediatric infectious diseases
    • Bacteriology

    Background:

    • Yersinia enterocolitica is a bacterial pathogen that can cause various infections.
    • Septicemia, or sepsis, is a life-threatening condition caused by the body's response to infection.
    • Gastrointestinal symptoms are commonly associated with Yersinia enterocolitica infections.

    Observation:

    • A case of Yersinia enterocolitica sepsis in an infant is presented.
    • The infant exhibited fever and sepsis but minimal gastrointestinal symptoms.
    • This presentation is atypical, as Yersinia enterocolitica septicemia is more common in adults.

    Findings:

    • Yersinia enterocolitica was successfully isolated from the infant's blood.
    • The organism's presence in an infant without significant digestive symptoms was noted.

  • The portal of entry for the bacteria could not be definitively determined due to the atypical presentation.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential for Yersinia enterocolitica to cause sepsis in infants, even without typical symptoms.
    • It underscores the importance of considering Yersinia enterocolitica in pediatric sepsis, especially when gastrointestinal signs are absent.
    • Challenges in identifying Yersinia enterocolitica may contribute to underdiagnosis in both pediatric and adult populations.
