Presentation
Between 5 and 10 August 2018, 45 participants presented with gastroenteritis symptoms, 14 of these tested positive for Shigella sonnei. [ecdc.europa.eu]
His educational activities include media presentations, extramural visiting professorships, and invited lectures at national and international meetings. [books.google.com]
Four cases, which developed while the infants were in the nursery, are presented in detail. Two of these infants died of peritonitis following intestinal perforation. Four Cases With Onset in the Hospital Nursery Case 1. [jamanetwork.com]
These patients may be considered to have thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) if fever and transient neurologic symptoms are also present. Seizures occur in approximately 10% of affected patients, and stroke or cerebral edema occur in 5%. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Fever
Tick-borne Rickettsia rickettsii Rocky Mountain spotted fever Rickettsia conorii Boutonneuse fever Rickettsia japonica Japanese spotted fever Rickettsia sibirica North Asian tick typhus Rickettsia australis Queensland tick typhus Rickettsia honei Flinders [en.wikipedia.org]
Signs and symptoms include abdominal swelling and pain, fever and weakness. [disabled-world.com]
In August 2017, an outbreak of typhoid fever was reported during a European Rainbow Gathering in Italy. Shigellosis is a gastrointestinal bacterial infection. [ecdc.europa.eu]
Increased catabolism secondary to fever, stool protein loss, decreased intake owing to anorexia, and malabsorption can exacerbate preexisting malnutrition. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Come a few hours later, you are running a fever. And then the next day, you had bloody bowels. You need to consult a doctor immediately because you may have been infected with Shigella. [learn2serve.com]

Reactive arthritis (also known as Reiter syndrome) 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 Reiter syndrome (painful urination, joint achiness). [healthychildren.org]
Other complications include Guillain-Barré syndrome after Campylobacter enteritis, Reiter’s syndrome (especially in persons who are HLA-B27 positive), Clostridium difficile colitis after antibiotic use, and postinfectious irritable bowel. [aafp.org]

HLA-B27
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]
Other complications include Guillain-Barré syndrome after Campylobacter enteritis, Reiter’s syndrome (especially in persons who are HLA-B27 positive), Clostridium difficile colitis after antibiotic use, and postinfectious irritable bowel. [aafp.org]
Treatment
THE EVOLUTION OF THE TREATMENT: Over the past years, strains of Shigella sonnei have become resistant to aminopenicillin and cotrimoxazole (treatment recommended till now) and now predominate. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Control of case Treatment is usually supportive for mild illness. Anti-motility drugs are thought to increase the risk of prolonged carriage. [ideas.health.vic.gov.au]
Prognosis
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]
This includes whatever statements and treatment notes that may have been obtained from your treating physician (a doctor who has a history of treating your condition and is, therefore, qualified to comment as to your condition and prognosis). [ssdrc.com]
The prognosis for shigellosis is generally good and most people recover even without medications within five to seven days. What is shigellosis? Shigellosis is a diarrheal disease caused by a group of bacteria called Shigella. [medicinenet.com]
