title: Association of pancreas affection and yersiniosis. A case report.
abstract: A case history of a 25-year-old female is reported. She had no diseases predisposing for pancreatic disease. A few days after a familial outbreak of yersinia enteritis, she again became ill and was referred to hospital. Clinical and laboratory examination made it likely that she underwent an acute pancreatic affection, and the serological test proved that she had been through an acute yersiniosis. The coincidental occurrence may of course be by change, but considering the immunological aspects of secondary yersiniosis, there might also be an etiological link.
