| Abstract: | Shigellosis is the commonest cause of blood and
mucus diarrhoea among children1. In Sri Lanka
Shigella flexneri is the predominant serotype
isolated and S. dysenteriae takes the third place1,2.
Worldwide there is an evolving antibiotic
resistance3. In common practice furazolidone still
remains the drug of choice at the first presentation
and gentamicin is reserved for severe infections. Introduction Shigellosis is the commonest cause of blood and mucus diarrhoea among children1 .
