How likely is it to die from shigellosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends.....: Is the person really old or very young? Are there problems with the person's immune system? What part of the world is the person being treated? Shigellosis epidemics in third world countries can be associated with 5–15% fatality rates.
