Abstract

Shigella sonnei bacteremia in adult patients is rare. We present 2 cases from our center, and 7 others from the literature are reviewed in detail. Diabetes mellitus and malignancy are frequent predisposing conditions. Despite severe illness at presentation, our patients achieved good outcomes with prompt initiation of antimicrobial therapy.
