Shigellosis disease case surveillance in SORMAS

[KarnaiahPesula]

Objective

This epic aims to implement Shigellosis disease surveillance to SORMAS by introducing new disease and its entities. The implementation will support case management, laboratory notifications, epidemiological investigations, and ECDC/WHO reporting.

Background

Shigellosis is an acute diarrheal illness caused by enteroinvasive Shigella species — a gram-negative, facultative anaerobic bacillus — capable of producing severe intestinal inflammation and a clinical spectrum ranging from watery diarrhea to full dysentery. NCBI
Shigella belongs to the Enterobacteriaceae family and comes in four serogroups:

• Shigella dysenteriae (Group A)
• Shigella sonnei (Group D)
• Shigella flexneri (Group B)
• Shigella boydii (Group C)

Shigellosis is a mandatorily notifiable disease in Luxembourg

High-Level Explanation
