-In some persons, especially young children and the elderly, the [[diarrhea]] can be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized. A severe infection with high [[fever]] may also be associated with [[seizures]] in children less than 2 years old. Some persons who are infected may have no symptoms at all, but may still pass the Shigella bacteria to others.
