Özet

Shigella is a common causative agent of gastroenteritis especially in developing countries. Species that cause Shgellosis, have diversity between countries. Shigella sonnei is the first, Shigella flexneri is the second most common isolated species in our country. Because of their genetical predisposition, they can quickly develop resistance to antibiotics therefore antibiotic susceptibility of Shigella species are variable. Antibiotic resistance rate in S. flexneri infections is higher than other Shigella species. Herein we report a case, who presented with altered conscious. In the follow up he had diarrhea and ceftriaxone resistant S. flexneri was yielded from his stool. We wanted to emphasize that shigellosis should be considered in patients that presented with altered conscious and the diarrhea may occur after neurological findings.
