Yersinia enterocolitica meningitis and osteomyelitis: a case report.
We present a case of a 45-yr-old black male who developed both meningitis and osteomyelitis due to Yersinia enterocolitica. This particular case was remarkable because the patient made a full recovery without long-term sequelae after therapy with IV chloramphenicol followed by oral trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.
