| Abstract |
|
The clinical significance of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis(Y. pseudotuberculosis) has
recently recognized in various part of the world because it can cause a wide range of
clinical problems such as mesenteric lymphadenitis, septicemia, reactive arthritis, terminal
ileitis, erythema nodosum and acute renal failure. we experienced a case of acute renal
failure associated with Y. pseudotuberculosis infection. We applied a nested polymerase
chain reaction method for rapid diagnosis of Y. pseudotuberculosis infection. DNA was
extracted from standard strains of Y. pseudotuberculosis, Y. enterocolitica, serial blood
samples, urine, and mountain water by phenol-chloroform method. Using specific primers,
we amplified inv and ail gene from extracted DNA samples by PCR method. The patient’
serotype was Y. pseudotuberculosis 2a and its titer was 1:40 initially, after 2 weeks
the titer increased to 1:160. Stool culture was negative. Inv gene amplification was positive
in patient's urine, febrile stage blood, and mountain water. The nested polymerase
chain reaction method can be used clinically for rapid diagnosis of Y. pseudotuberculosis
infection. So we report here the clinical findings and PCR method of this case with brief
review of the literatures. |
