Fueling Brains E. coli Outbreak strikes nearly 350 children

337 culture positive E. coli O157:H7 primary cases.

12 remain in hospital.

11 have developed acute kidney failure – hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS)

6 of the HUS patients remain on dialysis

22 secondary cases have been reported in family members of primary cases

“Based on the epidemiology of the cases we’ve seen to date, it is highly likely the source of this outbreak is food that was distributed from the central kitchen,” AHS said. “At this point, AHS has not been able to identify a food item that was the source. We continue to investigate.”

AHS said four daycares have not had anyone who tested positive for E. coli: Fueling Brains Bridgeland, Little Oak Early Education, Almond Branch and Braineer Academy.

Those four will be able to reopen Monday, providing no one tests positive for E.coli. The remaining seven daycares will have their closure orders rescinded Tuesday. Young children under five and staff will require clearance from health officials.

There are 11 Calgary daycares which have been issued a closure order until further notice following an outbreak of the shiga toxin-producing E. coli.
