A 48-year-old man was admitted to hospital following four days of having suffered diarrhea and a febrile episode on the same day as he consulted. The diarrhea had increased to 6 episodes during the 12 hours before admission, regardless of the administration of loperamide or low doses of dexamethasone. He referred to no other symptoms upon admission.
