Increase of E. coli (STEC) cases in Ottawa County, MI - Unknown source

2 years ago source content.govdelivery.com

Outbreak

Michigan, United States

The Ottawa County Department of Public Health is alerting the public to increasing cases of shiga-toxin producing E. coli (STEC) infections in the community. As of August 10, 2022 , they are monitoring 9 cases of STEC, which is significantly higher than the typical number of cases reported at this time of the year. 4 of those have been hospitalized for their symptoms. MDARD and the MDHHS are investigating possible links between the cases.

Symptoms of STEC can vary from person to person, but usually include the following: Diarrhea (often bloody), Severe stomach cramps, Vomiting and Low-grade fever. Symptoms of STEC infection typically appear 3 to 4 days after eating or drinking something that contains the bacteria. Most people with mild STEC infection begin to improve within 5 to 7 days after infection, but some individuals, including young children and the elderly, may experience severe or even life-threatening symptoms.

In case you are experiencing STEC symptoms, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
