  • Title: Yersinia enterocolitica in the synovial membrane of patients with Yersinia-induced arthritis.
    Author: Hammer M, Zeidler H, Klimsa S, Heesemann J.
    Journal: Arthritis Rheum; 1990 Dec; 33(12):1795-800. PubMed ID: 2261001.
    Abstract:
    Using a monospecific rabbit antibody against Yersinia enterocolitica outer membrane protein 1, we examined synovial biopsy specimens from 7 patients with Yersinia-induced arthritis. Yersinia were demonstrated in the synovial membrane by indirect immunofluorescence in 4 patients with Yersinia-induced arthritis, but not in 6 control patients with Salmonella-induced arthritis or with rheumatoid arthritis. These findings suggest the persistence of Yersinia in the joints of patients with Yersinia-induced arthritis.
