On Friday, the #CDC issued an advisory, saying that they’re monitoring an increase in cases of #shigellosis, an illness that can cause diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps.
Caused by a strain of bacteria called #shigella, this stomach bug is usually treated without antibiotics, but immunocompromised people, like those with HIV or receiving chemotherapy, are at risk of a more serious illness. Severe shigellosis can be life-threatening.
