Bacillary dysentery is common in India, and her case was extreme. Basically, the infection reached the stage where her intestinal lining was visibly sloughing off, and she told me later it was more painful than unanesthesized childbirth.

In any case, she was prescribed a single dose of a large pill for treating both amoebic and bacillary dysentery, so we're still not sure which one it was, but she was back up on her feet less than a day later.
