Anti-Bacterial Agents

Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and arthritis.

In 1986 and 1987 nine patients with a raised antibody titre to Yersinia pseudotuberculosis were found. Two of these results were almost certainly due to the cross reactivity between some Y pseudotuberculosis serogroups and some salmonella serotypes. Of the other seven patients with otherwise unexplained Y pseudotuberculosis serology, three suffered from severe arthritis and two had symptoms suggestive of sacroiliitis. Our data and published reports suggest that reactive arthritis might follow both Y enterocolitica and Y pseudotuberculosis infections.

Anti-Bacterial Agents

Neonatal meningitis due to Streptococcus mitis.

A baby girl became ill 2 days after a normal delivery. Streptococcus mitis was isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid, and she recovered uneventfully on treatment with penicillin and, for the first 2 days, netilmicin. The organism was penicillin-tolerant in vitro. Non-groupable alpha-hemolytic streptococci are an uncommon cause of meningitis; three cases have been ascribed to S. mitis.
