A temporary rash called erythema nodosum also may appear on the skin, and the disease can lead to a temporary arthritis of the knees, ankles, or wrists. Frequently occurring in young children, the infection is more common during the winter months.
Most people acquire yersiniosis from contaminated foods, water, and unpasteurized milk; raw or undercooked pork products (e.g., raw pork intestines, or chitterlings) are a major source of the disease. ... Although most people recover from yersiniosis without treatment, individuals who have suppressed immune systems or excess iron in their blood (hemochromatosis) may require antibiotics if the bacterium causes septicemia or infections in other organs.
