The possibility of the diagnosis of dysentery caused by S. sonnei and S. flexneri, as well as the determination of the dynamics of the distribution of specific O-antigen in the patient's body, by means of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay system developed on the basis of antibody preparations obtained by immunosorption has been studied. The study has shown that for better diagnosis the use of fecal extracts is preferable in assays; when used in combination with bacteriological analysis, these assays make it possible to increase the confirmation of the diagnosis of dysentery by several fold.

Allied prisoners of war (POWs) working on the Imperial Japanese Army's railroad from Thailand to Burma during 1943-1945 devised a blood transfusion service to rescue severely ill fellow prisoners who were otherwise unlikely to survive the war. Extant transfusion records (1,251 recipients, 1,189 donors) in ledger books held by the United Kingdom National Archives at Kew were accessed and analyzed. Survival to the end of the war in 1945 was determined from Commonwealth War Graves Commission records.

Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic non-specific inflammatory intestinal disease, categoried under "dysentery" and "intestinal bleeding" in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Jianpi Qingchang decoction (JPQC) is a combination formula specifically designed for the treatment of UC. The primary objective of this study is to examine the clinical efficacy of JPQC in individuals diagnosed with UC who exhibit both spleen deficiency and dampness-heat syndrome, along with the presence of fatigue.

- Entamoeba histolytica is a parasite causing intestinal amebiasis, particularly prevalent in tropical areas and a major health issue in developing countries. Traditional diagnostic methods can cause delays in treatment, exacerbating patient conditions.
- A case involving a 59-year-old HIV-positive man revealed how initial testing misdiagnosed his illness, but advanced diagnostics using the FilmArray GI Panel quickly identified E. histolytica in under an hour.
- The successful and prompt treatment with antiamoebic drugs significantly improved the patient's health, highlighting the importance of rapid diagnosis in managing gastrointestinal infections effectively.
