Yersinia enterocolitica: a frequent seasonal stool isolate from children at an urban hospital in the southeast United States.

چکیده
From 1 December 1988 through 28 February 1991, 7,290 rectal swab specimens received in our laboratory were screened for Yersinia enterocolitica. A total of 76 patients had Y. enterocolitica isolated from their stool samples. Of these patients, 59 (77.6%) were 12 months old or younger. Y. enterocolitica was second only to Salmonella spp. in this age group. Routine screening for Y. enterocolitica may be warranted in hospitals serving large pediatric populations.
