Journal ArticleDOI

Non-O157 Shiga Toxin–Producing Escherichia coli Infections in the United States, 1983–2002

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.

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

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

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.
