Extract

Dysentery is usually classified as (i) bacillary, and (ii) amoebic.

In 1898 Shiga described a bacillus (B. dysenteriae, also known as Shiga's bacillus), as the cause of epidemic dysentery in Japan. Since then his observations have been, in the main, confirmed. Other varieties of dysentery bacilli have been described and “Bacillary Dysentery” seems now to be a well-defined disease capable of study by ordinary bacteriological methods.
