A total of 161 shigella strains were isolated from humans during the year of study. Shigella was isolated starting at 6 months of age and 19 % of diarrhoeal episodes in children were associated with shigella infections. Finally, 227 (58 %) patients with culture-proven shigella infections were retained as index cases of whom 133 (59 %) were males. The attributable risk for shigella-associated diarrhoea due to intra-familial transmission was 50%. Shigella species are important pathogens responsible for diarrhoeal diseases and dysentery occurring all over the world. All the stool specimens were negative for salmonella, shigella, campylobacter and other common enteric pathogens. The definition of asymptomatic carriage of shigella was based on only one stool specimen, rather than specimens of 10 consecutive days. Patients whose stool culture yielded a shigella isolate were then enrolled as an index case. With two shigella isolates from a household, one intrafamily comparison per pair (icp) was obtained. Several methods have been used to study the epidemiology of shigella infections. In a household with three shigella isolates, three combinations per pair were obtained (3 icp). One of 37 family studies showed the highest variation with 7 isolates of 6 different serotypes of shigella that were isolated. In 1998-2000 shigella strains also developed resistance to amikacin, to which they were susceptible earlier. Results of this study demonstrated that intra-familial transmission of shigella carries a higher risk for diarrhoea. These examples are from corpora and from sources on the web.
