Summary

Yersinia pseudotuberculosis infection can cause ileocolic intussusception in children, often linked to consuming untreated water. Prompt treatment with Gastrografin enema led to complete recovery in all cases without surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Intussusception is a common surgical emergency in infants and young children.
  • Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is an emerging pathogen linked to various gastrointestinal conditions.

Observation:

  • Three young boys presented with ileocolic intussusception.
  • Two patients reported a history of drinking untreated water.
  • Yersinia pseudotuberculosis infection was identified as the causative agent.

Findings:

  • All intussusceptions were successfully reduced non-operatively using a Gastrografin enema.
  • Patients received supportive care, leading to complete recovery.
  • No surgical intervention or complications were reported.

Implications:
