Diagnostic Tests for Yersiniosis
Tests and diagnosis discussion for Yersiniosis:
Y. enterocolitica infections are generally
diagnosed by detecting the organism in the stools. Many laboratories
do not routinely test for Y. enterocolitica,so it is important
to notify laboratory personnel when infection with this bacterium
is suspected so that special tests can be done. The organism can
also be recovered from other sites, including the throat, lymph
nodes, joint fluid, urine, bile, and blood. 1
