ICD-10 Code A28.2 | Extraintestinal yersiniosis Symptoms, Diagnosis, Billing

Common symptoms include abdominal pain, fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), and joint pain. These symptoms can vary in severity and may require medical evaluation.

Diagnosis is typically made through clinical evaluation, patient history, and laboratory tests, including stool cultures and serological tests for Yersinia enterocolitica.

Treatment often involves antibiotic therapy, such as Ciprofloxacin, along with supportive care to manage symptoms and prevent complications.

While Yersinia enterocolitica can be transmitted through contaminated food or water, Extraintestinal yersiniosis itself is not directly contagious between individuals.
