Recent Cluster of Shigella Cases
A cluster of Shigella flexneri cases among Toronto males has recently been identified. Shigella is a bacteria that causes severe diarrhea which can become bloody. This cluster is thought to be due to person-to-person transmission through oral-anal sexual contact. The ingestion of only a few organisms can lead to symptoms.
