Personal Injury and Wrongful Death

Brunswick, Georgia, Shigella Outbreak

Two children who attend the Family and Children’s Education Services (FACES) center in Brunswick, Georgia, have been diagnosed with shigellosis. The 320 students ages 3 to 5 who attend the FACES program in Brunswick, Georgia, are at risk for infection with the Shigella bacteria, which is the cause of shigellosis.

Shigellosis is caused by the Shigella bacteria. Once one is infected with the Shigella bacteria, symptoms may appear within a day. Symptoms of shigellosis are usually mild, but shigellosis may lead to severe illness in young children. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):

Most who are infected with Shigella develop diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps starting a day or two after they are exposed to the bacterium. The diarrhea is often bloody. Shigellosis usually resolves in 5 to 7 days. In some persons, especially young children and the elderly, the diarrhea can be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized. A severe infection with high fever may also be associated with seizures in children less than 2 years old. Some persons who are infected may have no symptoms at all, but may still pass the Shigella bacteria to others.
