Abstract |
Yersinia pseudotuberculosis infection is one of the common causes of erythema nodosum in Europe,
but in Korea only 2 cases have been reported. Recently authors experienced a 6 year old boy who
suffered from erythematous painful skin lesions on the shin and calf, and was diagnosed serologically
as erythema nodosum due to Yersinia pseudotuberculosis infection. So we report here the clinical
findings of this case with a brief review of the literatures. |
Key Words:
Erythema nodosum, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis |
