Dysentery In Webster's Dictionary
\Dys"en*ter*y\, n. [L. dysenteria, Gr. ?; ? ill, bad +
?, pl. ?, intestines, fr. 'ento`s within, fr. ? in, akin to
E. in: cf. F. dysenterie. See {Dys}, and {In}.] (Med.)
A disease attended with inflammation and ulceration of the
colon and rectum, and characterized by griping pains,
constant desire to evacuate the bowels, and the discharge of
mucus and blood.
Note: When acute, dysentery is usually accompanied with high
fevers. It occurs epidemically, and is believed to be
communicable through the medium of the alvine
discharges.
