Common symptoms of shigellosis

Shigellosis is often found in child care centers, nursing homes, refugee camps and other places where conditions are crowded and sanitation is poor.

Studies conducted on adult volunteers have established that the first symptom of shigellosis usually occurs within 12 to 48 hours of exposure but symptoms can be delayed for up to 1 week.

In mild infection, the only complaints may be development of watery or loose stools for a few days with minimal or no constitutional symptoms. But in severe cases symptoms can linger for 2-3 weeks.

The most common symptoms of shigellosis are watery diarrhea, sudden fever, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, flatulence, tenesmus, lassitude, and prostration, 1-5 days after ingestion of contaminated food and drinks.

Generally, children are more susceptible to shigellosis than adults and it is fatal in children especially when children suffer from malnourishment. Children with malnourished conditions show dehydration, magacolon, rectal prolapse, and intestinal perforation and infection is life-threatening.

Eczema caused by food

Atopic dermatitis, more generally called eczema, is a skin condition. Eczema appears most commonly on the face, neck, elbows, wrists, knees, behind the ears and the scalp.

The main symptom is an itchy rash that tends to run in families; occurs in people with their allergic problems such as asthma; and follows a pattern on the skin that varies by ages.

Allergic reactions to certain foods are thought to stimulate T-cell migration to the skin, triggering eczema and other inflammatory skin reactions.

Onion can cause eczema

Although eczema may be caused by a large number of environmental triggers, approximately 40 percent of children with eczema also have a food allergy. Allergies to egg, milk, peanut, soy and wheat have a strong link with eczema symptoms.

For adult, the work of preparing food carries a high occupational risk. Occupational dermatitis in this trade is often if mixed irritant and allergic origin.

Sensitivity causing protein contact dermatitis had been found to be common among kitchen workers, who nearly all complain that their dermatitis is aggravated by contact with fish and certain vegetables.

Yersiniosis caused by Yersinia enterocolitica

Yersinia enterocolitica belongs to a family of Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria. Other species of bacteria in this family group may include Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, which causes illness similar to Yersinia enterocolitica, and Yersinia pestis, which causes Plaque.

Yersiniosis caused by Yersinia enterocolitica commonly causes sporadic infections in industrialized countries, but may also occur in developing countries. The incidence of Yersinia enterocolitica infections is highest among children under 5 and particular in 1-year-old infants.

Symptoms typically develop four to seven days after exposure and may last one to three weeks or longer. In older children and adults, right-sided abdominal pain and fever may the predominant symptoms, and often confused with appendicitis. Occasionally sepsis may lead to severe post-infection sequence such as reactive arthritis, erythema nodosum, meningitis and endocarditis.

Complications such as skin rash, joint pains or spread of bacteria to the bloodstream can occur.

The infection of Yersiniosis is most often acquired by drinking water contaminated unpasteurized milk or by eating food contaminated with the organism.
