Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of shigella to obtain an adequate VA examination to determine whether a current diagnosis of shigella exists and its etiology.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence of a currently diagnosed disability, and further testing is needed to clarify the Veteran's condition.
