1/8. Terminal ileitis, mesenteric lymphadenitis and appendicitis due to yersinia pseudotuberculosis type VA: case report.A case of terminal ileitis, mesenteric lymphadenitis and appendicitis is reported. Serological studies indicated infection with yersinia pseudotuberculosis type VA. The patient's illness ran a chronic course necessitating resection of the terminal ileum. Histological examination of the appendix and a mesenteric lymph node in the acute stage revealed granulomas with central necrosis. This is the first human case in which the subtype VA has been identified.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = ileitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/8. yersinia enterocolitica intestinal infection with ileum perforation: report of a clinical observation.yersinia enterocolitica infection is responsible in human beings for ileocolitis appearing with abdominal pain, diarrhoea and fever. This kind of disease usually heals spontaneously with no remarkable complication. intestinal perforation is a rare complication of the disease. To date only eleven cases of surgical complications arising from abscess and intestinal perforation due to yersinia enterocolitica have been reported in literature. In our clinical case the patient, who had previously undergone appendicectomy, required urgent surgery for pelvi-peritonitis due to intestinal perforation on necrotic-ulcerative ileitis with adenomesenteritis from yersinia enterocolitica. The surgical treatment combined with intestinal resection and targeted antibiotic therapy have proved to be effective.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = ileitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/8. yersinia enterocolitica in donor blood: a case report and review.Routine sterility control of a unit of leukocyte-depleted erythrocyte concentrate yielded growth of yersinia enterocolitica serotype O:3. plasma of the donor showed a high titer of agglutinins against the homologous organism. Although the donor was apparently well at the time of donation, he had a history of protracted terminal ileitis treated by surgery. The recipient of the contaminated blood was taking broad-spectrum antibiotics and did not experience any adverse effect. Fourteen other cases of transfusion-associated yersiniosis have been reported.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = ileitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/8. yersinia pseudotuberculosis with inflammation of the appendix: a case report.Human enteric infection with yersinia enterocolitica or yersinia pseudotuberculosis may masquerade clinically as acute appendicitis but it is unusual for the appendix to be histologically inflamed. We report a case of yersinia pseudotuberculosis infection in which acute appendicitis was present in the absence of terminal ileitis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = ileitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/8. Liver affection associated with yersinia enterocolitica infection.During the last ten years, several clinical manifestations of yersinia enterocolitica infection have been reported. Surgeons are especially aware of "the right iliac fossa syndrome", caused by mesenterial lymphadenitis and terminal ileitis. We suggest that yersinia enterocolitica may also cause a clinical condition easily misinterpreted as cholecystitis, and accompanied by slightly elevated serum levels of ASAT, LD, AP and bilirubin. Apparently, this condition may run a chronic relapsing course. A report is given of two cases of liver affection associated wtih positive Y. ent. antibody titre. Case 1 would illustrate the chronic relapsing liver affection with stationary titre. In Case 2 an acute Au-negative hepatitis is accompanied by significant rise and fall in titre.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = ileitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/8. liver abscess complicating yersinia pseudotuberculosis ileitis.The occurrence of solitary liver abscess is described in a young farmer with subacute terminal ileitis mimicking Crohn's disease. serologic tests showed high titers of antibodies for yersinia pseudotuberculosis. Treatment with troleandomycin was successful. This case report suggests that: (a) Yersinia infection must be systematically searched for in all forms of subacute ileitis; (b) a classically benign Yersinia ileitis may be complicated by liver abscess; (c) antibiotic therapy must be undertaken in yersinia pseudotuberculosis subacute ileitis to avoid severe infectious complications.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.6keywords = ileitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/8. family outbreak of yersiniosis.yersinia enterocolitica biotype 1, serotype O:21 was isolated from feces or rectal washings of three members of one family in northwestern saskatchewan. The three isolates gave positive pathogenicity tests in guinea pigs with cultures grown at 22 degrees C as inoculum. All three cases showed clinical symptoms consistent with yersiniosis. All three cases had symptoms of diarrhea and abdominal pain, and two cases had recorded fever. In two cases, appendicitis was initially suspect. One case with ileitis and peritonitis was fatal. The environmental source of the infection was not found, but river water, milk, and person-to-person spread are discussed as possible sources of the infections. The need for microbiology laboratories to culture stool specimens specifically for Y. enterocolitica, using cold-enrichment techniques is emphasized. This family outbreak of yersiniosis provides further evidence that certain biotype 1 strains of Y. enterocolitica are pathogenic.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = ileitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/8. Yersiniosis as a surgical disease.An infection with Yersinia strains may develop with the picture of acute appendicitis. laparotomy will then not reveal an acutely inflamed appendix, but will often show mesenteric lymphadenitis or acute terminal ileitis. These conditions have been observed in four patients. The differential diagnostic possibilities are discussed. It is pointed out that acute terminal ileitis is practically never transformed into chronic terminal ileitis (Crohn's disease).- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.6keywords = ileitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
