| 4) INCREASE IN SHIGELLA CASES |
 |
| SURVEILLANCE ALERT |
 |
WHAT IS SHIGELLA? Shigella are bacteria that can infect the digestive tract and cause a wide range of symptoms, from diarrhea, cramping, vomiting, and nausea, |
|
A cluster of Shigella cases among males living in Toronto has recently been identified |
|
Symptoms of shigellosis usually begin within one to three days after being exposed to the bacterium |
|
Infection can cause diarrhea (which may be bloody), fever, nausea, and vomiting, and illness can last from four to 14 days |
|
Patients with symptoms should be advised to refrain from sexual activity that may cause transmission of infection to others as well as food preparation for others for the duration of illness |
|
Because shigella can sometimes show no symptoms, persons who engage in sexual activity that could expose them or their partners to fecal material should be counselled to wash their hands and genital/anal areas thoroughly before and after engaging in sexual activity |
|
Use of protective barrier equipment also reduces the risk of enteric sexually transmitted infections |
|
Shigellosis is a reportable communicable disease. Please report all suspect and
Confirmed cases of shigellosis to Toronto Public Health immediately by calling
416-392-7411 (during work hours) and 416-690-2142 (after hours)
