Abstract
- Shigella spp. cause classic bacillary dysentery that rarely result in extraintestinal complications. Urinary tract infections(UTIs) due to Shigella spp. are rare, and Shigella sonnei UTIs are extremely rare. We report a case of symptomatic UTI due to S. sonnei. A 9-year-old female presented with a history of fever, abdominal pain, loose form diarrhea, vomiting, and dysuria for 1 day. S. sonnei was identified from urine culture and stool culture result was no Salmonella and Shigella isolated. She was treated with gentamicin and cefuroxime intravenously for 5 days, which suscessfully controlled clinical features of infections.
