In the [[United States]], most human illness is caused by ''[[Y. enterocolitica]]''. Infection with ''Y. enterocolitica'' occurs most often in young children. ==Symptoms== Infection with ''Y. enterocolitica'' can cause a variety of [[symptom]]s depending on the age of the person infected. Common symptoms in children are [[fever]], [[abdominal pain]], and [[diarrhea]], which is often bloody. Symptoms typically develop 4 to 7 days after exposure and may last 1 to 3 weeks or longer. In older children and adults, right-sided abdominal pain and fever may be the predominant symptoms, and may be confused with [[appendicitis]]. In a small proportion of cases, complications such as skin rash, joint pains, or the spread of bacteria to the bloodstream ([[bacteremia]]) can occur. {{infectious-disease-stub}}tae ka ulol {{bacteria-stub}} [[Category:Bacterial diseases]] [[de:Yersiniose]] [[ja:エルシニア・エンテロコリティカ感染症]] [[pl:Jersinioza]] [[pt:Yersiniose]]
