| dc.description.abstract | Introduction: Dysentery is an infectious gastrointestinal disorder, characterized by inflammation of the intestines, mainly the large intestine Shigella flexneri is the most common cause of bloody diarrhea. We investigated dysentery to describe cases, identify risk factors and implement intervention in Mizan Tepi University. Methods: Unmatched 1:2 case control design was used from January 29/2019 to February,14/2019. Data was collected using structured questionnaire, analysis was carried out by using SPSS version 20. Scale map displayed by using Arc GIS 10.2. Drinking water sample was also collected for Microbiological test and isolate the species. To measure the significance of association we used binary logistic regression and results were reported as odds ratio and 95% CI Result: A total of 50 cases (AR: 9.3/1000 Population) with zero death of bloody diarrhea were identified from January 29/2019 to February, 14/2019. The mean age of cases was 21(SD + 1.4),whereas their age ranged from 18 to 26 years. Male accounted 33 (66%). Contact with dysentery cases [AOR 6.3(95% CI 5.164_15.123) and absence of detergent for hand wash [AOR 5.4 (95% CI (1.946_14.839) was identified as risk factors. On the other hand, boiling water for drinking and proper hand washing after visiting toilet found to be protective with [AOR 0.10(95% CI 0.012_0.945)] and [AOR 0.25 (95% CI 0.086_0.742)] respectively. Conclusions: Common source outbreak was identified, absence of detergent and contact with dysentery case was identified as risk factors. Recommendations: We recommend to the university to improve awareness on personal hygiene including use of detergents for hand wash. We also recommend latrine facilities should be made operational with functional water supply. | en_US |
