Dysentery (formerly known as flux or the bloody flux) is an inflammatory disorder of the intestine, especially of the colon, that results in severe diarrhea containing mucus and/or blood in the faeces with fever and abdominal pain. If left untreated, dysentery can be fatal. Dysentery results from viral, bacterial, or protozoan infections or parasitic infestations. These pathogens typically reach the large intestine after entering orally, through ingestion
- f contaminated food or water, oral contact with contaminated objects or hands, and so on.
Exposed individuals may experience either mild, severe, or even no symptoms at all. In extreme cases dysentery patients may pass over a litre of fluid an hour. More often, individuals will complain of nausea, abdominal pain, and frequent watery and usually foul smelling diarrhea accompanied by mucus and blood, rectal pain, and fever. Vomiting, rapid weight loss, and generalized muscle aches sometimes also accompany dysentery. In rare
- ccasions, the amebic parasite will invade the body through the bloodstream and spread
beyond the intestines. In such cases, it may more seriously infect other organs such as the brain, lungs, and the liver. Source: wikipedia
