[Uveitis after Yersinia enterocolitica infection].
Yersiniosis is a food-born infection. It may cause an acute enterocolitis and trigger an anterior uveitis. We report a case of bilateral panuveitis with chorioretinitis - thus with the involvement of anterior and posterior uvea. Because the agglutination titer against the Yersinia enterocolitica type 3 was increased, we consider it as the most probable etiology of the panuveitis. A serological test for Yersinia should be done in patients with uveitis, who consume food from various sources e.g. tourists or with diarrhea in anamnesis.
