Description:
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>We report a 74‐year‐old woman who presented to hospital with fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and 2 weeks later developed erythema nodosum (EN) on the legs, and was diagnosed with <jats:italic>Yersinia enterocolitica</jats:italic> infection based on her clinical course and microbiological examination of the stool. She also had a complication of pancreatitis, which made the diagnosis challenging. We should suspect infection by <jats:italic>Y. enterocolitica</jats:italic> when diagnosing cases of EN with gastrointestinal symptoms. We assume EN is likely to appear 2 weeks after the onset of gastrointestinal symptoms from our case and other case reports.</jats:p>
