A survey of bacillary dysentery in a rural community in Serbia.

Abstract:

:The findings from an epidemiological survey of bacillary dysentery in three villages in south-west Serbia are reported. Factors in the transmission of infection-in particular, living conditions and standards of hygiene-are discussed, and an attempt is made to assess the value of various popular remedies, such as herbal decoctions, and the diet generally followed. Data are given on the bacteriological examination of faecal cultures; the results of sulfonamide and serum therapy are described.
