    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Gastroenterology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Investigating acute febrile diarrhea in children.
    • Differentiating inflammatory colitis from other pediatric gastrointestinal disorders.
    • Challenges in identifying bacterial pathogens in pediatric diarrhea.

    Observation:

    • A 2-year-old presented with acute febrile, non-bloody diarrhea and inflammatory colitis on sigmoidoscopy and radiography.
    • Initial stool and blood cultures were negative for common bacterial pathogens.
    • Diagnostic perseverance led to a positive stool culture for Yersinia enterocolitica.

    Findings:

    • Confirmed diagnosis of infectious colitis caused by Yersinia enterocolitica.
    • Serologic studies and clinical course supported the Yersinia enterocolitica diagnosis.

  • Radiographic findings mimicked inflammatory bowel disease.

    • Implications:

    • Yersinia enterocolitica should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pediatric inflammatory colitis.
    • Highlights the importance of considering Yersinia in radiographic differentials for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
    • Emphasizes the need for diagnostic consideration of Yersinia enterocolitica in intractable childhood diarrhea.
