Yersinia pseudotuberculosis belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae and is known to cause enterocolitis, terminal ileitis, pseudoappendicitis, erythema nodosum, reactive polyarthritis, and, occasionally, bloodstream infections. Here, we report the first case of bacteremia and septic arthritis in a patient without obvious risk factors and review all of the published cases of Y. pseudotuberculosis bloodstream infections.
