This time of the year Ecoli related illnesses tend to run rampant

in the warmer parts of the world. Sadly treatment given isn't

always best!

E. coli can cause vomiting, cramping and severe diarrhea,

which can then lead to dehydration. One of the most common

sources of E. coli is eating undercooked meat. E. coli

outbreaks often occur during the summertime when many

Americans are enjoying barbecues, picnics and foods

served at public carnivals and festivals. Health experts

advise thoroughly cooking all meats; washing hands with

hot water and soap before preparing foods; and refrigerating

perishable foods, cooked or not.

Antibiotic Treatment for E.coli Risky

Children who are treated for E.coli infection with antibiotics

are at a greater risk of developing a toxic condition that can

lead to kidney failure.

Say's the findings from a study released by The New England

Journal of Medicine, which carry's some heavy public health

implications. Both researchers at Children's Hospital Regional

Medical Center and the University of Washington in Seattle,

studied 71 children age 10 or younger who had E.coli induced

diarrhea. Nine received antibiotics. Ten children, including five

of the nine treated with antibiotics, developed HUS (hemolytic

uremic syndrome), a condition in which the patient's urine output

diminishes while, at the same time, red blood cells are being

destroyed. E.coli induced HUS is more common among children

than adults, and often occurs after a gastrointestinal infection.
