Abstract
Of 5 patients admitted to Children''s Hospital National Medical Center with manifestations of Y. enterocolitica infections, 4 had primarily enteric illness, while the 5th had associated ocular and joint involvements. In 3 of 5 cases, the disease was self-limiting. Two patients may have had their disease improved by antibiotic therapy. Increased alertness to the potential of Y. enterocolitica to cause a variety of syndromes is necessary to make an accurate bacteriologic diagnosis and to expedite medical treatment.
