Yersinia enterocolitica is a well-known cause of enterocolitis. Although focal extraintestinal manifestations and disseminated disease have been described, usually in immunosuppressed patients, infection in the chest seems to be rare. We report the case of an alcoholic man who had spontaneous pleural empyema due to Y. enterocolitica.
小肠结肠炎耶尔森菌是一种广为人知的引起小肠结肠炎的病原体。虽然已经描述过局灶性肠外表现及播散性疾病,通常发生在免疫抑制患者中,但胸部感染似乎很少见。我们报告一例因小肠结肠炎耶尔森菌导致自发性胸腔积脓的男性酗酒者病例。
