Abstract
- We report a case of gastroenteritis due to Yersinia enterocolitica in a 7month old male infant who was misdiagnosed as shigellosis at onset of illness. He was treated with Gentamicin successfully. A marked improvement was resulted in clinical symptoms and laboratory finding at the time of discharge. It is a second case of Y.enterocolitica which is proved by stool culture in Korea.
