Preventing Dysentery. Dysentery is an inflammation of the intestines that causes severe, painful diarrhea. The bacterial form of dysentery, shigellosis, is caused by Shigella bacteria (shigellosis is the most common cause of severe diarrhea in the United States). Amebiasis, which is sometimes called amebic dysentery, is much less common and is caused by the one-celled Entamoeba histolytica parasite. Both shigellosis and amebiasis are marked by severe, sometimes bloody, diarrhea; fever; and stomach cramps.
Dysentery vs Diarrhea. Dysentery and diarrhea are often used as similar terms. However, the fact is that the two conditions are clinically different from each other. The most important difference between dysentery and diarrhea relates to the affected area. While watery diarrhea is a disease that affects the small bowel, dysentery affects the colon. Since the fluid flux in the small bowel is much more than that in the colon, an infection there produces diarrhea- a watery stool.
