Abstract

Shigella spp. cause classic bacillary dysentery that rarely result in extraintestinal complications. Urinary tract infections(UTIs) due to Shigella spp. are rare, and Shigella sonnei UTIs are extremely rare. We report a case of symptomatic UTI due to S. sonnei. A 9-year-old female presented with a history of fever, abdominal pain, loose form diarrhea, vomiting, and dysuria for 1 day. S. sonnei was identified from urine culture and stool culture result was no Salmonella and Shigella isolated. She was treated with gentamicin and cefuroxime intravenously for 5 days, which suscessfully controlled clinical features of infections.
