Shigellosis (Shigella) “A Cause of Bloody Diarrhea” | Pathophysiology, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment

Shigellosis is a gastrointestinal infection that is caused by Shigella bacteria. There are 4 species of shigella bacteria that can cause this condition, all of which are gram negative, non-spore forming bacteria. Shigellosis can cause key characteristic findings, including high fever, bloody diarrhea (depending on species that is causing infection), and a left shift of white blood cells. In this lesson, we discuss in-depth the pathophysiology of this condition, how it’s transmitted, the signs and symptoms, how it’s diagnosed and how it’s treated.
