Shigella {{c2::dysenteriae}} can produce a shiga toxin that leads to {{c1::hemolytic uremic}} syndrome
Would suggest editing this to Text: “{{c2::Shigella spp.::Not EHEC}} produces {{c1::Shiga}} toxin”
And maybe add to Extra: “- This includes all species of Shigella, including S. dysenteriae, sonnei, etc.”
According to AMBOSS and my understanding, Shigella produces Shiga toxin, while EHEC produces Shiga-like toxin/verotoxin. They are not the same, so a hint wouldn’t be needed tbh
Also one card directly tests HUS, while the other tests the shiga toxin fact, so not direct duplicates. HY enough to keep as is
