| description | Septicemia from Yersinia enterocolitica is unusual. Hepatic involvement
occurring in this clinical setting is a rare complication. A case of a
64-year-old man who developed septicemia from Y enterocolitica is reported.
Abdominal ultrasound and computerized axial tomography scan revealed multiple
defects in liver parenchyma compatible with abscesses. After treatment with
intravenous aminoglycosides followed by trimethoprim-sulfomethoxazole,
recovery was complete. General considerations regarding the manifestations and
pathogenesis of Y enterocolitica are discussed, with a review of the literature. |
