Abstrakt: ABSTRACTDuring 2001, 89 culture-confirmed cases of Yersinia pseudotuberculosiswere reported in Finland; 55 (62%) were serotype O:1, and 34 (38%) were serotype O:3. Four major pulsed-field gel electrophoresis profiles were identified. A case-control study of 25 case patients and 71 healthy controls identified eating outside the home as a risk factor for infection.
