  • Title: [Triple shigellosis in the same patient contracted during operation "Turquoise" in Rwanda].
    Author: Teyssou R, Gérome P, Buisson Y.
    Journal: Bull Soc Pathol Exot; 1994; 87(4):228-9; discussion 230. PubMed ID: 7866040.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of shigellosis observed in a young French sanitary assistant, returning from a refugees camp in Goma after a 5-week stay. Three different species were isolated from stool samples: Shigella flexneri, S. boydii and S. sonnei. This observation raises the matter of a chemical prophylaxis during a short stay in developing countries where sanitary conditions are poor.
