  • Title: Haemolytic uraemic syndrome due to ciprofloxacin-resistant Shigella dysenteriae serotype 1.
    Author: Taneja N, Lyngdoh VW, Sharma M.
    Journal: J Med Microbiol; 2005 Oct; 54(Pt 10):997-998. PubMed ID: 16157557.
    Abstract:
    A case of haemolytic uraemic syndrome following dysentery due to ciprofloxacin-resistant Shigella dysenteriae serotype 1 is reported for the first time. The increasing resistance of S. dysenteriae serotype 1 to many commonly available antimicrobial agents has implications for the management of dysentery. The choice of antimicrobial treatment for S. dysenteriae serotype 1 infections should take into account widespread drug resistance and the risk of haemolytic uraemic syndrome.
