- Yersinia enterocolitica is a well-known cause of enterocolitis. Although focal extraintestinal manifestations and disseminated disease have been described, usually in immunosuppressed patients, infection in the chest seems to be rare. We report the case of an alcoholic man who had spontaneous pleural empyema due to Y. enterocolitica.
