title: [Yersinia enterocolitica septicemia in a girl with thalassemia major].
abstract: The Authors report the case of a child affected with Thalassemia Major who has presented a Yersinia Enterocolitica infection in a septicemial form. They point out that the clinical overture and its swift evolution with heart involvement make the diagnosis and the treatment difficult and, at the same time, urgent. They talk about the conditions which promote the septicaemia in this hemopathy.
