Journal ArticleDOI
Non-O157 Shiga Toxin–Producing Escherichia coli Infections in the United States, 1983–2002
John T. Brooks,Evangeline G. Sowers,Joy G. Wells,Katherine D. Greene,Patricia M. Griffin,Robert M. Hoekstra,Nancy Strockbine +6 more
TL;DR: Non-O157 STEC can cause severe illness that is comparable to the illness caused by STEC O157, and Strains that produce Shiga toxin 2 are much more likely to cause HUS than are those that produceShiga toxin 1 alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Illnesses associated with Escherichia coli O157:H7 infections. A broad clinical spectrum.
Patricia M. Griffin,Stephen M. Ostroff,Robert V. Tauxe,Katherine D. Greene,Joy G. Wells,Jay H. Lewis,Paul A. Blake +6 more
TL;DR: Infection with E. coli O157:H7 should be considered in all patients with bloody diarrhea, the hemolytic uremic syndrome, or thrombotic throm bocytopenic purpura because the infection can masquerade as gastrointestinal bleeding of noninfectious cause.
Journal ArticleDOI
The United States National Prospective Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Study: Microbiologic, Serologic, Clinical, and Epidemiologic Findings
Nicholas Banatvala,Patricia M. Griffin,Katherine D. Greene,Timothy J. Barrett,William F. Bibb,James H. Green,Joy G. Wells +6 more
TL;DR: Data from a subset of patients suggest that E. coli O157 was the cause of > or = 80% of the STEC infections, and STEC infection should be considered the likely cause for all persons with postdiarrheal HUS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Escherichia coli O157: H7 Diarrhea in the United States: Clinical and Epidemiologic Features
Laurence Slutsker,Allen A. Ries,Katherine D. Greene,Joy G. Wells,Lori Hutwagner,Patricia M. Griffin +5 more
TL;DR: Using standard microbiological methods, this study assessed the ways in which time of year, geographic location, and the demographic and clinical features of patients affected the likelihood of isolation of these enteric pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: An outbreak of Escherichia coli O175:H7 infection resulting in a high rate of progression to hemolytic-uremic syndrome is described, and predictors of and risk factors for progression are identified.
