The authors presented the results of clinical and x-ray investigation of 102 patients with epidemic pseudotuberculosis (EP). The diagnosis was established on the basis of epidemiological evidence and the results of clinical and serological investigation. The affection of the digestive organs was observed not only in the abdominal type of EP but also in its other types. X-ray examination of the digestive organs revealed terminal ileitis in 56.8% of the patients alongside with functional disorders. X-ray examination plays a certain role in the differential diagnosis of EP from other diseases of the ileocecal region, in particular from acute appendicitis.
