  • Title: Hemolytic-uremic syndrome surveillance to monitor trends in infection with Escherichia coli O157 and non-O157 enterohemorrhagic E. coli in Austria.
    Author: Fischer H, König P, Dierich MP, Allerberger F.
    Journal: Pediatr Infect Dis J; 2001 Mar; 20(3):316-8. PubMed ID: 11303839.
    Abstract:
    Austrian data underline that relying on the number of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157 strains isolated from clinical specimens does not allow assessment of the actual incidence of EHEC infections. A hospital-based system for identification of hemolytic-uremic syndrome cases based on voluntary cooperation was established in 1995 and provides information needed to monitor trends in the incidence of O157 and non-O157 EHEC infections.
