Am J Med Sci. 1984 May-Jun;287(3):38-9. doi: 10.1097/00000441-198405000-00013.

Abstract

An 86-year-old woman developed large bullae on both legs during the course of septicemia due to Yersinia enterocolitica. Although erysipelas-like lesions and erythema nodosum have been known to be associated with Yersinia infections, this is the first reported case with multiple bullae.
