Dysentery is an infection of the intestines that causes severe diarrhea with blood and mucus. It is often accompanied by stomach pain, fever, and a feeling of needing to pass stools even when the bowels are empty. Dysentery is typically caused by bacteria or parasites found in contaminated food or water. Good hygiene and clean drinking water are essential to prevent the spread of dysentery. Treatment usually involves staying hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, and in some cases, antibiotics or antiparasitic medications are needed to fight the infection.
