Antibodies to Escherichia coli O157 in patients with haemorrhagic colitis and haemolytic uraemic syndrome.
Twenty four sera from patients with haemolytic uraemic syndrome or haemorrhagic colitis and healthy controls were examined for antibodies to the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Escherichia coli O157. Faecal specimens from these patients were also examined for Vero cytotoxin producing E coli (VTEC) by DNA probes, and for faecal Vero cytotoxin. Eight patients with faecal E coli O157:H7 gave a strong ...
متن کاملHaemorrhagic colitis: detection of verotoxin
Faeces (n = 1319) were examined over three months for the presence of non-sorbitol fermenting, verotoxin producing Escherichia coli (serotype 0157). Seven isolates were found, four from patients with bloodstained diarrhoea and three from patients with no evidence of blood in the faeces. Screening of all faecal samples with specific 0157 antiserum for non-sorbitol fermenting organisms and agglut...
متن کاملCharacteristics of the enteroaggregative Shiga toxin/verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli O104:H4 strain causing the outbreak of haemolytic uraemic syndrome in Germany, May to June 2011.
The Escherichia coli strain causing a large outbreak of haemolytic uraemic syndrome and bloody diarrhoea in Germany in May and June 2011 possesses an unusual combination of pathogenic features typical of enteroaggregative E. coli together with the capacity to produce Shiga toxin. Through rapid national and international exchange of information and strains the known occurrence in humans was quic...
متن کاملAtypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome.
The haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) is characterized by the triad of thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia and acute renal failure. HUS may be classified as either diarrhoeal-associated or non-diarrhoeal/atypical (aHUS). aHUS has recently been shown to be a disease of complement dysregulation, with 50% of cases involving the complement regulatory genes, factor H (CFH), membran...
متن کاملHaemolytic uraemic syndrome
Haemolytic uraemic syndrome and the related disorder thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura have recently been the subject of much interest and research.' A wide variety of phenomena have been observed and several pathogenetic mechanisms have been proposed, matched by a correspondingly diverse array of promising but unsubstantiated methods of treatment. Consideration of the heterogeneity of the cl...
