Abstract
Four recent cases of Yersinia enterocolitica infections from Florida are discussed. Two of the cases presented as acute mesenteric lymphadenitis, and the other two presented as septicemia. Three of the isolates were an uncommon serotype, O:2,3, and the fourth was serotype O:5. The increasing occurrence of Y. enterocolitica in semitropical areas of the United States is emphasized.
