Hotline Mar 96 - Shigellosis Volume 34, No. 9, pp. 1-3 The Elusive Epidemiology of Shigellosis by Nelson P. Moyer, Ph.D. Among the national health objectives of the year 2000 is the goal of reducing the number of cases of diarrheal diseases in children attending daycare centers by 25%. Children are at increased risk for diarrheal diseases because they engage in oral exploration of their environments and their toileting hygiene is imperfect. It is estimated that 25% of preschool children attend day care. While there are many infectious agents causing diarrhea in children, one of the most difficult diseases to control from the epidemiological perspective is shigellosis. Shigellosis is an acute disease characterized by abdominal pain and diarrhea, often containing blood, mucus and pus. The etiologic agents are serogroups A (dysentariae), B (flexneri), C (boydii), and D (sonnei) of the genus Shigella The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently released the report, Shigella Surveillance Annual Tabulation Summary, 1993-1994, which enumerates case reports of shigellosis from the national surveillance system by several epidemiologically useful parameters. The following data are abstracted and summarized from the current report and previous CDC reports to provide an overview of shigellosis in the United States and Iowa. Historical case data for Iowa between 1977 and 1994 are shown in Figure 1.
