Abstract

A case of Yersina enterocolitica infection is described from West Africa. Intestinal function studies demonstrated an associated protein-losing enteropathy whilst the histo-pathological appearance of the rectum suggested an ischaemic colitis. Y. enterocolitica infection has been infrequently reported from the African continent and may be manifested in a variety of clinical presentations leading to difficulty in diagnosis.
