Neonatal shigellosis is a rare condition presenting with fever, shock, and rash. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges and the unusual occurrence of cutaneous manifestations in a neonate with Shigella flexneri infection.

Area of Science:

Pediatrics
Infectious Diseases
Neonatology

Background:

Neonatal shigellosis is a rare bacterial infection, often associated with unsanitary conditions.
It can lead to severe manifestations, including bacteremia, septic shock, and rash.

Observation:

A newborn presented with fever, abdominal distension, hepatomegaly, and bloody diarrhea within hours of birth.
The infant developed shock, requiring intensive care, and later exhibited a generalized rash with severe thrombocytopenia.

Findings:

Stool cultures confirmed Shigella flexneri infection.
Blood cultures were negative, and the rash, a rare neonatal presentation, appeared alongside critical thrombocytopenia.

Implications:

This case underscores the diagnostic difficulties of neonatal shigellosis.

The presence of cutaneous manifestations in a neonate with Shigella infection is unusual and warrants further investigation for potential bacteremia.
