Dysentery is characterized by inflammation and ulceration of the bowel, which is a colic pain in the region of the abdomen and passing of liquid or semi-formed stools with mucus and blood.

Dysentery is a serious condition affecting the large intestine caused by two organisms, protozoa and bacilli. The former is generally known as amoebic dysentery and the latter as bacillary dysentery. An attack of amoebic dysentery is milder in comparison with bacillary dysentery. But while bacillary dysentery can respond quickly to treatment, amoebic dysentery is very difficult for the patient to get rid of this dysentery.

Dysentery Symptoms :Dysentery may be acute and chronic. The symptoms of each of them are as follows:

Acute Dysentery:

• The patient feels a constant desire to evacuate, although there may be nothing to throw off except a little mucus and blood.
  
• The stomach loses power to digest and absorb food. The bacilli create toxins and the faecal matters formed also increase the further manufacture of toxins and their consequent absorption in blood.
  
• The saliva becomes acidic instead of being alkaline and the gastric juice itself may become alkaline.
  
• Pain and tenesmus precede the evacuations.
  
• There is a feeling of pain in the rectum and along the large intestine.
  
• With the advance of the disease the quantity of mucus and blood increases. Occasionally icasts or shreds of skin like mucous membrane, from small fragments to about 12 inches in length and an inch wide, are seen to pass out with motions. Sometimes pus is also thrown out with motions and often the smell of the stools becomes very unbearable.
  
• All the digestive processes are upset and secretions are changed or stopped.
  
• This is characterized by pain in the abdomen, diarrhoea and dysenteric motions, where yellowish white mucus and sometimes only blood from the intestinal ulcers passes with stools.

Chronic Dysentery:

• The stools remains putrid and may contain blood, while diarrhoea and constipation may alternate, and general health is disturbed.
• Chronic cases are after-effects of acute attacks, where the patient does not recover completely.
• In severe cases, the temperature may also rise. It may occasionally become subnormal also.
