Sixteen cases of shigellosis occurring during the neonatal period are reported. Four infants developed their disease in the hospital nursery and 2 died of peritonitis following intestinal perforation. The severity of illness varied in the 12 infants who became ill at home; all recovered without obvious sequelae. The 8 previously reported cases are briefly summarized. The clinical manifestations of shigellosis in this age group lack the distinctive features typical of the disease in many older infants and children. The source of infection appears to be the mother.
