There was a lack of severe intestinal involvement and absence of metabolic derangement. In all 3 patients, areas of necrosis were present throughout the brains; and in one case pontine haemorrhages and demyelination were seen. This report supports the evidence of a particular neurotoxic effect in shigellosis.}, issn = {0003-9888}, URL = {https://adc.bmj.com/content/58/1/70}, eprint = {https://adc.bmj.com/content/58/1/70.full.pdf}, journal = {Archives of Disease in Childhood} }
