Abstract:
Shigellosis is usually a self-limiting enteric disease, rarely accompanied by extra-intestinal manifestations. In Senegal, shigella bacteraemia is poorly documented. The authors report two retrospective cases of Shigella dysenteriae 1 bacteraemia in an infant aged 12 months and a 32 years-old adult admitted at the Infectious Diseases Clinic in Dakar. In both cases, a fatal outcome was observed, in relation to complications: endotoxic shock in the infant, severe intestinal haemorrhage in the adult.
