Simultaneous infection with multiple serotypes of Shigellae in a patient.
We isolated three different serotypes of Shigella on admission from a patient with dysentery as well as a Shigella-like organism and Campylobacter jejuni upon follow-up. The patient produced serum antibodies to all three serotypes of shigellae.
