Dysentery is an infection of the digestive tract that causes diarrhoea and abdomen cramps. Most people who get dysentery in the United kingdom have only mild symptoms, such as diarrhoea and nausea. They might not need to see a General practitioner because the situation can clear up within a few days. Therapy is often not required, although it is important to drink plenty of fluids to replace any that have been lost through diarrhoea. Dysentery is a notifiable illness, which means that if a doctor diagnoses dysentery, they must tell the local authority.

Types of dysentery There are two main types:

  • Bacillary dysentery, which is caused by a bacterium called Shigella. This is the most common type of dysentery in the United kingdom.
  • Amoebic dysentery, also known as amoebiasis. This is caused by an amoeba (a single-celled parasite) called Entamoeba histolytica.

It is found mainly in tropical areas, so this type of dysentery is picked up abroad. Both types are commonly passed on through poor cleanliness, and people often become contaminated by eating contaminated food (see Causes, above). Amoebic dysentery is more serious than bacillary dysentery and is sometimes fatal if not treated. How typical is it? Outbreaks of bacillary dysentery are common and there are between 2,000 and 10,000 incidents reported each year in the United kingdom. Many more cases are not documented. Amoebic dysentery is rare in the United kingdom. You are most likely to become infected when traveling in parts of the world where the disease is typical, such as Africa, South America, India and Southeast Asia.
