Reactive arthritis (also known as Reitersyndrome) may occur. Complications Complications from shigellosis may be intestinal or systemic. Intestinal complications Proctitis or rectal prolapse is common in infants and young children.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Occasionally, complications may develop, including bacteremia (bacteria in the blood), hemolytic uremic syndrome (a disorder characterized by kidney failure and anemia), and Reitersyndrome (painful urination, joint achiness).[healthychildren.org]
Other complications include Guillain-Barré syndrome after Campylobacter enteritis, Reiter’ssyndrome (especially in persons who are HLA-B27 positive), Clostridium difficile colitis after antibiotic use, and postinfectious irritable bowel.[aafp.org]
Nausea and/or vomiting, loss of appetite, headache or malaise can also occur. Clinicians should be aware of shigellosis as a potential diagnosis in persons who have returned from these gatherings and present symptoms compatible with the disease.[ecdc.europa.eu]
Along with the diarrhea there is sometimes pain, malaise and fever. DIAGNOSIS : Diagnosis is based on the finding of gull-shaped bacteria in watery, blood, leukocyte-filled feces.[atsu.edu]
The fever was low-grade, not associated with chills and rigor. There was no history of similar episode of illness in the past. On examination, the baby was irritable and had moderate pallor and signs of mild dehydration.[jlponline.org]
People with diarrhea who are unable to take fluids by mouth because of nausea may need medical attention and intravenous fluids, especially small children.[pfusion.net]
Medications that stop diarrhea are generally not given, because they can cause the infection to take longer to go away. Self-care measures to avoid dehydration include drinking electrolyte solutions to replace the fluids lost by diarrhea.[nicklauschildrens.org]

Signs and Symptoms A Shigella infection can cause mild watery or loose stools with no other symptoms, or it can be more serious, with fever, abdominal cramps or tenderness, crampy rectal pain (tenesmus), and mucous-filled and sometimes bloody stools.[healthychildren.org]
Presentation: Shigellosis has two basic clinical presentations: (1) watery diarrhea associated with vomiting and mild to moderate dehydration, and (2) dysentery characterized by a small volume of bloody, mucoid stools, and abdominal pain (cramps and tenesmus[de.slideshare.net]
Tenesmus is present and the feces are bloody, mucoid and of small volume. Fluid and electrolyte loss may be quite significant, particularly in pediatric and geriatric populations. There may be a peripheral neurites and convulsions.[atsu.edu]

Approximately 70% of patients with post-shigellosis reactive arthritis are HLA-B27 positive. [28] Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) is a relatively uncommon disease; however, it is the most frequent cause of acute renal failure among infants and young children[emedicine.medscape.com]
It is thought that HLA-B27 may affect the elimination of the infecting bacteria or an individual’s immune response. [1] HLA-B27 has been shown to be a predisposing factor in one-half to over two-thirds of individuals with reactive arthritis. [8,1] While[about-reactive-arthritis.com]

Outlook (Prognosis) The infection is often mild and goes away on its own. Most patients, except malnourished children and those with weakened immune systems, recover fully.[nicklauschildrens.org]
What Is the Prognosis? In most cases, Shigella infections run their course in 2 to 3 days.[healthychildren.org]
