Dysentery symptoms in Egypt are caused by Entammba histolytica, dysentery bacilli, and bilharzial worm irritation, making diagnosis difficult by clinical methods alone.

The Diagnosis of Dysenteries

Dysentery can be caused by bacteria, protozoa, or worms, with symptoms ranging from diarrheea to abdominal pain, tenesmus, and blood and slime in the bowel.

LVIII. THE DYSENTERIES

Diagnosing dysentery requires excluding other causes of dysenteric symptoms, such as rectal cancer, intestinal obstruction, and alimentary intoxication, before identifying the true cause of the condition.

AN EPITOME OF CURRENT MEDICAL LITERATURE

A small outbreak of dysentery among nursing staff in 1923 was associated with an unusual Bacillus, with symptoms resembling milder Flexner dysentery cases in Eastern countries.

A Small Outbreak of Dysentery Associated with an Unusual Bacillus

Shigella bacteria cause bacterial dysentery by rupturing the intestinal barrier and causing acute mucosal inflammation, with the most severe cases occurring in developing countries and areas with poor hygiene.

Rupture, invasion and inflammatory destruction of the intestinal barrier by Shigella, making sense of prokaryote-eukaryote cross-talks.

Bacillary dysentery is caused by bacillus, while amebic dysentery is caused by amebic organisms, both of which cause abdominal pain, tenesmus, bloody purulent stool, and frequent bowel movements.

Bacillary and Amebic Dysentery

Bacillary dysentery is a common but not severe disease, with classical symptoms like frequent diarrhoea and abdominal pain being less common in modern cases.

Bacillary Dysentery

Golden Immunstim has no effect on improving dysentery symptoms in children.

Bacillary dysentery incidence rates in Vietnam peak in the mid-rainy season, with temperature, humidity, and precipitation being key climate risk factors.

Shigella virulence factors work together to cause disease, with different symptoms and transmission patterns among different species, potentially contributing to the development of a pan-Shigella vaccine.

How Do the Virulence Factors of Shigella Work Together to Cause Disease?

Differential diagnosis between dysentery and salmonellosis is challenging, but colonic biopsy can be helpful in obscure cases.

The infant rabbit model provides a valuable tool for understanding the cell biology of Shigella flexneri infection and its pathogenesis in bacillary dysentery.

Tr. opii, gtt. xv, saturated with camph., given every three hours, with a teaspoon full of brandy, and sinapisms to the bowels, was most effective in arresting the disease.

Malignant Dysentery

Shigellosis is a food-borne infection with high resistance rates, and strict regulation of mass food handling is crucial for controlling its spread.

BACILLARY DYSENTERY

Dysentery in Great Britain can be defined as diarrhoea with visible blood or mucus in the stools, or as the too frequent passage of too fluid stools, and can be caused by almost anything that causes diarrhoea.

Dysentery in Great Britain

Swine dysentery is a severe enteric disease in pigs caused by the hemolytic spirochetes Brachyspira spp, with a resurgence in North America since 2007.

Swine Dysentery

Bacillary dysentery misdiagnosis is common in clinical practice, with one third of confirmed cases having no typical symptoms and a fifth having typical symptoms of other pathogens.

Ulcerative post-dysenteric colitis is more severe and often fatal, and its diagnosis and treatment require a multidisciplinary approach.

The outbreak was caused by an unusual Bacillus, and the nursing staff recovered quickly, returning to duty within seven or eight days.

These studies suggest that dysentery symptoms include diarrhoea, abdominal pain, tenesmus, and bloody or purulent stool.
