Dysentery is often referred to as "bloody diarrhea" due to its characteristic symptom of blood in the stool. Other names include "amoebic dysentery" when caused by the parasite Entamoeba histolytica and "bacillary dysentery" for cases caused by bacteria such as Shigella. It is also sometimes colloquially referred to as "summer diarrhea" in certain contexts.
