We describe a 14-year-old girl, who was 13 y after liver transplantation for biliary atresia with an unremarkable postoperative course. She presented with fever of up to 40°C, extreme fatigue, malaise, anorexia, and occasional vomiting. On physical examination the only finding was splenomegaly. Lab results showed hyperglobulinemia and an elevated sedimentation rate. Liver function tests were normal except for mild elevation of γGTP. Abdominal U/S and CT demonstrated an enlarged spleen with retroperitoneal and mesenteric lymph nodes enlargement. An exhaustive evaluation for infectious causes, autoimmune conditions, and malignancy was negative. A full recovery after 5 months prompted testing for self-limited infectious etiologies. Yersinia enterocolitica infection was diagnosed.

“…In addition to the three previously reported prosthetic joint infections [3,4,7], there are only a few reports of deep purulent infections caused by Y. enterocolitica: e.g. vascular graft infections [8,9], prosthetic and native valve endocarditis [10,11], mycotic aneurysm of a carotid artery [12], lung abscess and osteomyelitis [13], meningitis [14], spondylodiscitis with or without spinal abscess [15][16][17][18]. According to the review by Crowe et al [18] Y. enterocolitica can cause septic arthritis and osteomyelitis, as well as native valve endocarditis [11], more often than other deep sited infection.…”

Prosthetic joint infection is a rare manifestation of Yersinia enterocolitica. We report a case of a patient presenting with fever and a purulent infection in his prosthetic knee joint caused by Y. enterocolitica. He had been operated in 1990 for arthrosis of the right knee. Re-operation was performed in 2007 for loosening of the prosthesis. Seven months later, following progressively increasing knee pain, he became acutely febrile and a purulent knee joint infection was diagnosed. Y. enterocolitica was isolated from the joint fluid. Serum antibodies against Y. enterocolitica were also positive. He was treated with debridement, replacement of the liner component of the prosthesis and a long course of intravenous antimicrobial therapy. The infection was thought to be in a chronic suppressive state. The final outcome after all therapy was good.

R~sum& Presentation d'un cas d'ostdo-myYlite de l'extrdmitg infdrieure du cubitus chez un homme de 71 ans, d~e h Yersinia enterocolitica et survenue au cours du traitement par chimioth6rapie d'un cancer du poumon. Cette observation est tout it fait particuliOre parce que l'ost~omyglite s'est localisde au niveau d'une ancienne fracture trai-t6e par ostdosynthOse 48 ans auparavant. A notre connaissance il s'agit du premier cas publi6 d'ostdomydlite Yersinia enterocolitica chez un patient soumis it un traitement immuno-suppresseur. Mots cl~s : Ostdomy(lite --Cubitus --Yersinia Abstract. We have reported a case of a 71-year-old male who developed osteomyelitis of his distal ulna due to Y. enterocolitica during chemotherapy for an oat-cell carcinoma. This case was remarkable because the osteomyelitis developed where 48 years earlier an Code M6ary : I101.0 ; 0519.0 Correpondence to: J. Verhaegen osteosynthesis had been performed. To our knowledge this is the first case of a Yersinia osteomyelitis in a patient receiving immunosuppressive therapy, reported in the literature.
