Dysentery ICD-10-CM Alphabetical Index. The ICD-10-CM Alphabetical Index is designed to allow medical coders to look up various medical terms and connect them with the appropriate ICD codes. There are 33 terms under the parent term 'Dysentery' in the ICD-10-CM Alphabetical Index. Dysentery. See Code: A09.
Bacillary dysentery is a gastrointestinal disease caused by bacterial infection. Symptoms include severe diarrhea, fever, stomach pain, nausea and vomiting. The condition is most common in developing countries with poor sanitation. Some cases can be life-threatening and require antibiotics and hospitalization. What is bacillary dysentery?
Bacillary dysentery occurs when foreign bacteria enter a person’s body and the infection becomes severe. Some of the most common bacteria that lead to bacillary dysentery are: Shigella, which leads to shigellosis. Salmonella, which causes salmonella poisoning (salmonellosis).

The causative agent is Shigella spp., consisting of four serogroups, Shigella sonnei, Shigella boydii, Shigella flexneri, and Shigella dysenteriae. Shigellosis can occur in sporadic, epidemic, and *pandemic forms.
There are 2 main types of dysentery: bacillary dysentery or shigellosis, which is caused by shigella bacteria; this is the most common type of dysentery in the UK.

Infection is diagnosed when a laboratory identifies Shigella in the stool (poop) of an ill person. The test could be a culture that isolates the bacteria or a rapid diagnostic test that detects genetic material of the bacteria.

The condition is most common in developing countries with poor sanitation. Some cases can be life-threatening and require antibiotics and hospitalization.
There are two main types of dysentery. The first type, amoebic dysentery or intestinal amoebiasis, is caused by a single-celled, microscopic parasite living in the large bowel. The second type, bacillary dysentery, is caused by invasive bacteria. Both kinds of dysentery occur mostly in hot countries.

Salmonella is a genus of bacteria that causes salmonellosis in humans, while Shigella is a genus of bacteria that causes shigellosis in humans. Thus, this is the key difference between Salmonella and Shigella. Furthermore, Salmonella bacterial species are rod-shaped while Shigella bacterial species are slender shaped.
At present, Shigella and Escherichia genera are considered to be unique genomospecies. Unlike E. coli, Shigella strains are nonmotile as a result of deletion in the fliF operon (flagellar coding region) or an ISI insertion mutation in the flhD operon. Also, Shigella does not ferment lactose, as S.
Bacillary dysentery treatment Drink plenty of water or "rehydration" drinks, like sports drinks, to bring back the fluid you lost through diarrhea. Medicine with bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol) may ease symptoms like belly cramps and diarrhea.
