Home Board of Health Links Shigellosis (Bacillary Dysentery) What is Shigellosis? Shigellosis (bacillary dysentery) is caused by the bacteria Shigella and causes an infection of the intestines. Symptoms may include: diarrhea (sometimes bloody); stomach ache; fever; nausea; and vomiting. How is Shigellosis spread? Shigella is only found in people. It is spread by the "fecal-oral" route of transmission. Infected human feces that get into unchlorinated water, raw, uncooked foods or raw, unpasturized milk can cause illness when swallowed. How long does it take until a person gets sick? Most people get ill within 1-3 days after ingesting the bacteria. However, Shigella can cause illness anywhere from 12 hours to 7 days after it is swallowed. How long does Shigellosis last? Shigella infection usually only lasts a few days to a week, even without treatment. However, some people get dehydrated and need fluids or need medicine (antibiotics) to help get over the infection. How can Shigellosis be prevented?

What sort of germ is Shigella The Shigella germ is actually a family of bacteria that can cause diarrhea in humans. These microscopic living creatures, which can pass from person to person, were discovered 100 years ago by a Japanese scientist named Shiga, for whom they are named. There are several kinds of Shigella bacteria but only two are common in the United States.

Pathophysiology: Shigella species are aerobic, nonmotile, glucose-fermenting, gram-negative rods that are highly contagious, causing diarrhea after ingestion of as few as 180 organisms. Shigella species cause damage by 2 mechanisms, invasion of the colonic epithelium, which is dependent on a plasmid-mediated virulence factor, and production of enterotoxin, which is not essential for colitis but enhances virulence. The organism is spread by fecal-oral contact; via infected food or water; during travel; or in long-term care facilities, day care centers, or nursing homes. Frequency: In the US: Approximately 15,000 cases of shigellosis are reported annually in the United States. Internationally: Shigellosis occurs worldwide, and it tends to occur whenever war, natural calamities (eg, earthquakes, floods), or unhygienic living conditions result in overcrowding and poor sanitation.
