title: [Yersinia enterocolitica. A seroprevalence study and report of 3 clinical cases].
abstract: Yersinia enterocolitica is a gram negative bacillus that emerged in the past two decades as an important enteric pathogen associated with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. The authors present a seroepidemiological survey, in 200 hospitalized patients, and describe three curious case reports of this infection, including a serious case of endocarditis.
