This presentation will impact the forensic community by presenting the rare case of a septic shock due to transfusion-transmitted Yersinia enterocolitica with the use of postmortem Microbiological Investigation on cadaveric blood, that gives support to the Forensic Pathologist to diagnose sepsis related death. In this case the Forensic Microbiological Analysis allows to give the exact correspondence between the pathogen agent isolated from transfused RBCs and the etiological agent that determined the fatal sepsis, Yersinia enterocolitica.

Abstract

This presentation will impact the forensic community by presenting the rare case of a septic shock due to transfusion-transmitted Yersinia enterocolitica with the use of postmortem Microbiological Investigation on cadaveric blood, that gives support to the Forensic Pathologist to diagnose sepsis related death. In this case the Forensic Microbiological Analysis allows to give the exact correspondence between the pathogen agent isolated from transfused RBCs and the etiological agent that determined the fatal sepsis, Yersinia enterocolitica.
