BackgroundThe diagnosis ofYersinia enterocolitica(Ye) enteritis is not easy because detection from stool culture is more difficult forYethan for other bacterial enteritides. The establishment of characteristic ultrasonographic findings forYeenteritis would help improve the detection rate ofYeenteritis along with performance of several cold cultures. This would facilitate appropriate selection of antibiotics based on antimicrobial susceptibility testing and contribute to a more accurate understanding of local public health. This study aimed to retrospectively compare ultrasonographic findings and clinical features between children withYeenteritis and other bacterial enteritides.MethodsWe identified patients treated forYeenteritis (Yegroup; n = 27) or other bacterial enteritides (Other enteritis group; n = 29) between 2014 and 2018. Ultrasonographic findings (including mean maximum diameter and mean major–minor axis ratio of ileocecal lymph nodes, wall thickness of the terminal ileum, and presence of a pericecal hyperechoic region), clinical symptoms, and laboratory findings at first visit were compared between groups.ResultsNo difference in mean maximum diameter of ileocecal lymph nodes was seen between groups. However, mean major–minor axis ratio of ileocecal lymph nodes was lower in theYegroup than in the Other enteritis group (p < 0.001). Presence of a pericecal hyperechoic region was more frequent in theYegroup than in the Other enteritis group (p < 0.001). The combined presence of a mean ileocecal lymph node major–minor axis ratio <1.51 and a pericecal hyperechoic region offered 100% sensitivity.ConclusionCharacteristic ultrasonographic findings identified in this study may improve ultrasonographic differentiation ofY. enterocoliticaenteritis from other bacterial enteritides.
