“…pseudotuberculosis IA and 111 have produced extremely high incidences (SO0/,) of ReA relative to the lower and more common incidence (2%) seen in the majority of yersinia enteritis outbreaks (Toivanen et al 1985). However, another commonly used pathogenicity marker, the 42-47 MD Yersinia virulence plasmid, was not present in organisms recovered from ReA patients (Vittanen et at. 1986).…”

“…Immune complexes deposited in the joint tissue contributed to the inflammatory reaction in YIA (8). The persistent response of antibodies, particularly IgA, in patients with ReA was shown to be directed against a multitude of bacterial epitopes, including both chromosomally and plasmid-encoded antigens (40).…”

“…enterocolitica was the first micro-organism in which a plasmid-mediated capacity to invade tissue was demonstrated [14]. There is now mounting evidence that the micro-organism may be latent somewhere in the body for a long period, giving rise to chronic immunological reactions [15,161 To date, little information is available about the possible influence of Y . enterocolitica infection on mortality.…”

During the period 1974-1983, Yersinia enterocolitica infection was diagnosed in 458 hospitalized patients by antibody response or isolation of the micro-organism. A total of 54 (11.9%) patients had acute liver infection, with significantly elevated serum levels (greater than or equal to 2-fold) of bilirubin and/or enzyme levels. Serious liver disease with cellular necrosis was observed in biopsy specimens from two of 12 patients examined; six had unspecific changes. The patients were followed up for 4-14 years (until 1987). A total of 22 (4.9%) patients were readmitted with chronic liver disease; in one case non-specific microscopic changes developed into granulomatous hepatitis over a period of 3 years. In both the acute and chronic stages of disease, liver involvement was associated with involvement of other organ systems, and some patients developed multi-organ disease. Chronic liver disease was associated with positive tests for antinuclear antibody and rheumatoid factor, and with a high mortality.
