Dysentery is an inflammation of the large intestine characterized by abdominal pain and defecation with stools containing mucus and blood. It is caused by bacterial infections like Shigella and Entamoeba histolytica transmitted through contaminated food and water. The bacteria infect the intestinal lining, causing swelling and wounds. Mild cases can heal on their own with oral rehydration, while severe cases require intravenous rehydration and antibiotics. Dysentery affects many people worldwide each year and is particularly dangerous for young children due to risk of dehydration.
