Septicaemia caused by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in a female patient, aged 22, is reported. She had suffered from a chronic active hepatitis for 14 years and had been treated with corticosteroids and azathioprine. The Y. pseudotuberculosis septicaemia responded well to treatment with doxycycline orally, but the patient died 2 weeks later because of excessive bleeding from varicose veins of the oesophagus.
