   Extractions: Frequently Asked Questions What is shigellosis? Shigellosis is an infectious disease caused by a group of bacteria called Shigella . Most who are infected with Shigella develop diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps starting a day or two after they are exposed to the bacterium. The diarrhea is often bloody. Shigellosis usually resolves in 5 to 7 days. In some persons, especially young children and the elderly, the diarrhea can be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized. A severe infection with high fever may also be associated with seizures in children less than 2 years old. Some persons who are infected may have no symptoms at all, but may still pass the Shigella bacteria to others.

   Extractions: Shigellosis Clinical Features Watery or bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, and malaise. Etiologic Agent Four species of Shigella: boydii, dysenteriae, flexneri , and sonnei Incidence Approximately 14,000 laboratory confirmed cases of shigellosis and an estimated 448,240 total cases (85% due to S. sonnei ) occur in the United States each year. In the developing world, S.flexneri predominates. Epidemics of S. dysenteriae type 1 have occurred in Africa and Central America with case fatality rates of 5-15%. Sequelae Reiter's syndrome is a late complication of S. flexneri infection, especially in persons with the genetic marker HLA-B27. Hemolytic-uremic syndrome can occur after S. dysenteriae type 1 infection. Convulsions may occur in children; the mechanism may be related to a rapid rate of temperature elevation or metabolic alterations. Transmission A small inoculum (10 to 200 organisms) is sufficient to cause infection. As a result, spread can easily occur by the fecal-oral route and occurs in areas where hygiene is poor. Epidemics may be foodborne or waterborne.

    Extractions: Named after the Japanese scientist Shiga who discovered it in 1897, Shigella is a type of bacteria that infects the intestinal tract. Four different groups of Shigella can affect humans, with some causing a mild illness and others a more severe one. About 18,000 cases of Shigella infection are diagnosed each year in the United States, but many more go unreported because they involve only mild symptoms and sometimes no symptoms at all. The infection is most common during the summer months. Shigella rarely infects infants younger than 6 months old, but it is common in children 2 to 4 years old, especially those in child care. Signs and Symptoms Shigella can cause a spectrum of illnesses. Some people with a mild case have only loose watery stools, and a few may not have any symptoms at all. Others go on to develop a more severe disease known as dysentery, with abdominal cramps, high fever , loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting , and diarrhea , which may contain mucus and blood. Some children with severe cases of Shigella infection may need to be hospitalized. The most common complication is

Shigellosis rarely occurs in animals; it is principally a disease of humans and other primates such as monkeys and chimpanzees . The causative organism is frequently found in water polluted with human feces , and is transmitted via the fecal-oral route edit Symptoms may range from mild abdominal discomfort to full-blown dysentery characterised by cramps diarrhea fever vomiting , blood, pus, or mucus in stools or tenesmus . Onset time is 12 to 50 hours. Infections are associated with mucosal ulceration rectal bleeding , drastic dehydration ; fatality may be as high as 10-15% with some strains.
