| Popis: | We report an unusual observation of Yersinia enterolitica (YE) bacteremia with subcutaneous abscesses on the scalp and, by gradual extension, cerebritis in a diabetic patient. All clinical signs disappeared after surgical drainage of the abscesses and protracted antibiotherapy. The well-known affinity of YE for iron led us to demonstrate an unrecognized hemochromatosis., F. Lustman, MD, Centre Hospitalier Moliere-Longchamp, rue Marconi 142, B–1180 Bruxelles, Belgium |
