What causes toxic bacillary dysentery?

Toxic bacillary dysentery may be caused by improper diet, environmental factors, or other reasons. It primarily results from consuming unhygienic food, such as food contaminated with Shigella bacteria due to mold. Oral medications such as smectite powder, belladonna tablets, and cefixime dispersible tablets can be used for treatment. Symptoms of toxic bacterial dysentery are relatively severe and require prompt treatment, including timely fever reduction to prevent seizures. It is also essential to promptly restore blood volume and maintain the body's water and electrolyte balance to avoid dehydration.
