title: [Characteristics of the outbreak and control of an epidemic of bacillary dysentery of hydric origin].
abstract: In December 1978, an unexpected outbreak of acute gastroenteritis occurred in a shoe factory. The clinical, epidemiological and laboratory investigations established the hydric origin of the dysentery due to Shigella flexneri 3 a, caused by the illicit communication of the drinking water and industrial water mains. The antiepidemic measures promptly taken arrested the outbreak in three days ; there were no secondary, contact cases.
