Septicemia caused by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is uncommon. Two cases, one fatal, are reported in adult men. Mesenteric adenitis caused by Y. pseudotuberculosis has been recognized with increasing frequency in recent years in several countries. Two cases in children are described, one of whom also had acute appendicitis. Two cases in adults and one in a child were reported recently in the United States.
