What is E. Coli?

The E. coli O157:H7 strain is particularly dangerous because it produces a powerful toxin that causes a severe gastrointestinal infection. Symptoms typically appear 2-5 days after contaminated food is eaten, and include bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramping that persists for weeks. Fluid-loss from diarrhea can rapidly lead to dehydration and complications.

What is Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome?

Approximately 15% of people infected with E. coli O157:H7 develop Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS), and approximately 5-10% of HUS cases are fatal. Most people with HUS will need to receive intravenous (IV) fluids in a hospital. Some people develop sudden (acute) kidney failure, which is fatal without a kidney transplant.
