Abstract
We present herein a case of bacterial gastroenteritis due to <em>Yersinia</em> <em>enterocolitica</em>, occurred in a young woman undergoing haemodialysis with a previous history positive for prolonged (20 years) immunosuppressive therapy for glomerulonephritis before and for kidney transplant later. The patient’s outcome was favourable after a third-generation cephalosporin treatment without complications. The possible pathophysiological association between patient clinical condition and <em>Yersinia</em> bacteraemia is discussed, along with the review of literature.
