Kerala Shigella Outbreak Explained | Symptoms & What to Know | Health Wealth

Описание: Kerala is currently facing a concerning health scare as the highly contagious Shigella bacteria spreads, causing hundreds of school children to fall ill with symptoms like fever and diarrhea, and tragically resulting in the death of a 4-year-old.

Shigella is a waterborne bacteria that attacks the gut and spreads easily through contaminated food, water and close contact. While the infection is mild for most, it can become critical for vulnerable groups, especially children under five.

Although Shigella outbreaks have occurred in Kerala multiple times before, the situation is increasingly complicated by growing antibiotic resistance in India, which makes treating these bacterial infections more difficult.

To stay safe and prevent the outbreak from spreading further, the most effective prevention relies on simple but crucial habits: using clean water, washing hands and eating safe food
