title: Panniculitis-like lesions in yersiniosis.
abstract: Infection with Yersinia enterocolitica usually procedures gastrointestinal symptoms. We here report a severe case of panniculitis-like lesions caused by Yersinia enterocolitica where only mild gastrointestinal symptoms were noticed. Blood samples revealed high Yersinia enterocolitica serotype 3 titres, increased ESR, leucocytosis, and in addition Yersinia enterocolitica was cultured from the faeces. When panniculitis-like lesions are the only clinical manifestation yersiniosis should be considered as a possible cause.
