Yersinia enterocolitica is a Gram-negative coccobacillus that is known to cause gastroenteritis and symptoms mimicking appendicitis or terminal ileitis. It is also one of the culprit infections implicated in causing reactive arthritis. Rarely, it can cause musculoskeletal infections including osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, and discitis. We describe the case of a 70-year-old female with multiple comorbidities who presented with left knee pain and swelling after recent gastroenteritis. She was found to have Yersinia enterocolitica septic arthritis in her left knee prosthetic joint. The patient underwent an exchange of her prosthetic material and was successfully treated with a six-week course of ceftriaxone. Our article aims to highlight a rare manifestation of Yersinia enterocolitica infection and to point out an important differential for reactive arthritis after Yersinia enterocolitica infection.

A case of an acute asymmetrical polyarthritis occurring in a teenage boy is described. This was shown by serological tests to be secondary to a recent infection with Yersinia enterocolitica. Reactive arthritis following infection by this organism is well recognised in Scandinavia. Only recently have two cases been reported in the U.K. (1,2). This is the first reported case in Scotland and is unusual in that the initial infection was asymptomatic. Clinical improvement was associated with falling Y. enterocolitica titres and a reduction in the E.S.R. The patient was HLA B 27 positive. It is suggested that all patients presenting with an acute asymmetrical polyarthritis predominantly affecting the lower limbs should be screened by stool culture and serology for recent Y. enterocolitica infection.
