title: Shigella enterocolitis and acute renal failure.
abstract: Although acute renal failure secondary to infections is relatively common in adult patients, uremia requiring dialysis has not previously been reported in an adult patient with shigella enterocolitis. Our patient, infected with S flexneri, had severe renal failure without any evidence of sepsis, rhabdomyolysis, or the hemolytic-uremic syndrome. Antibiotic therapy with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole appeared to play a role in his eventual recovery.
