Bacillary dysentery due to Shigella is still one of the major causes of acute diarrhoeal disease, especially among children in the developing countries. Most often, shigellosis is self-limiting and does not pose a problem in the treatment of patients successfully. But occasionally, it may cause bacteremia or neurological complications which may be fatal. We report a case of fulminant encephalopathy caused by shigella dysenteriae type I, which has been described to produce an exotoxin which is a neurotoxin.
