title: [Childhood shigellosis: clinical and microbiological characteristics].
abstract: Authors present a retrospective study on 89 cases of pediatric shigellosis detected between 1983-1987. Most frequent isolated strain was S. sonnei with 67.4% and S. flexneri with 31.4% cases. 73.9% of all isolements were marked between the months october-december. Mean age of patients was 4.4 years and 44.9% of them need not to be hospitalized. Only 3.3% of patients presented a clinical syndrome of bacillar disentery with blood and mucus. Strains were resistent to ampicilin in 84.2% and to thrimetoprim-sulphimethosaxol in 80.9% of cases.
