  • Title: [Yersinia enterocolitica in acute appendicitis, lymphadenitis mesenterialis and regional enteritis (author's transl)].

    Abstract:
    In 895 patients operated on for acute appendicitis we found Yersinia enterocolitica in 41 cases. Another two cases were detected in postoperative serological examinations. Lymphadenitis mesenterialis was present in 17 cases during operation. Once we detected a regional enteritis. Histological examination of the appendix revealed a purulent inflammation in 21 cases and a phlegmonous-gangrenous inflammation in 4 cases. The other 18 patients suffered from Oxyuriasis, coprostasis or scars of the appendix. For this reason it is impossible to exclude an acute appendicitis in patients with cultural or serological identification of Yersinia enterocolitica.
