California Shigella Outbreak Linked to Filibertos in San Diego
Ten people in the San Diego area have reported symptoms consistent with a Shigella infection (shigellosis), which include fever, watery or bloody diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. County health officials have linked the ten illnesses to Filibertos restaurant in San Diego, California. People may have been exposed to Shigella by eating at the establishment between Aug. 24 and Aug. 28. Anyone who has eaten at Filiberto's restaurant in San Diego, California, should watch for symptoms of a Shigella infection.
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. In this Shigella outbreak linked to Filberto's in San Diego, California, 3 people were hospitalized.
A severe infection with high fever may 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.
