Next the ongoing Epidemic of a dangerous strain of E. coli.
Quote: "...an 83-year-old woman had died after being infected with E. coli. She was admitted to hospital with bloody diarrhea on May 15..."
Situation Update No. 66 On 29.06.2011 Quote: "In the EU/EEA, 880 HUS cases, including 31 deaths, and 3039 non-HUS cases, including 16 deaths have so far been reported."
Situation Update No. 62 On 23.06.2011 Quote: "It turns out that the strain identified had a unique blend from all three of these areas. The bacteria was able to produce Shiga, a deadly toxin that can result in kidney failure through HUS - hemolytic uremic syndrome - in its victims. This seems to have come from the EHEC strain (enterohemorrhagic E coli). However, EHEC infections normally only cause HUS in 6% of cases - but this new strain also borrowed a trick from another E coli cousin - enteroaggregative E coli, or EAEC - which boosted the rates of HUS development."
