Abstract
The aim of the present study was to determine the relationship between the expression of abdominal symptoms and the age of patients with Yersinia enterocolitica infections. Twenty-four patients with positive fecal cultures of Yersinia enterocolitica participated in the present study. The abdominal symptoms were taken from medical records. Statistical analysis was performed by Mann-Whitney U-test. Patients with diarrhea were younger than those without diarrhea (P = 0.014). Older children had abdominal pain or irritability more frequently than younger children (P = 0.004). In Yersinia enterocolitica infections, younger children are predisposed to diarrhea and older children are predisposed to abdominal pain.
