Аннотация:
Dysentery remains a significant public health issue among children in developing countries, particularly when complicated by intestinal bleeding. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical characteristics, severity, and outcomes of dysentery cases complicated with intestinal hemorrhage in pediatric patients. A total of 138 children aged from 1 to 12 years were observed at the Department of Pediatric Infectious Diseases between 2023 and 2025. Data were collected retrospectively from clinical records, including patient age, sex, severity of disease, laboratory findings, duration of hospitalization, and outcomes. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 28.0, with p-values below 0.05 considered statistically significant. Results demonstrated that 62.3% of patients presented with moderate disease, while 21.7% had severe dysentery accompanied by visible rectal bleeding.
