Description

Postinfectious arthropathy in enteritis due to Yersinia enterocolitica refers to joint inflammation that occurs following an infection of the intestines caused by the bacterium Yersinia enterocolitica. This condition can lead to pain and swelling in the joints, often developing after gastrointestinal symptoms have resolved.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that the term may be encountered in discussions about autoimmune responses following gastrointestinal infections. It is important to use the formal term 'por Yersinia enterocolitica' to comply with Spanish medical terminology guidelines. Avoid colloquial terms that may confuse the clinical context.
