While a large number of confirmed cases of Yersinia enterocolitica have been reported in different temperate zones, there is little information on the incidence of this infection in tropical areas. For the first time in Bangladesh, this organism has been isolated from the stool of a diarrhoea patient and, therefore, is recognized as a new enteropathogen in this country. The strain was characterized as biotype I, serotype 0:8 and phage type X2. The patient was a five-year-old girl from a poor Muslim family, and admitted to ICDDR,B's Treatment Centre with complaints of abdominal pain, low-grade fever and diarrhoea.
