Twenty-seven patients are currently hospitalized after an outbreak of shiga toxin-producing E. coli forced the closure of 11 daycare sites in the city over the Labour Day weekend.
Stephanie Ivey's 22-month-old daughter at the Alberta Children's Hospital, where she is fighting an infection of shiga toxin-producing E. coli.
Ivey's daughter, whose name CBC is withholding for privacy, was lethargic and had no appetite throughout the day on Saturday. Then she began to vomit and had multiple bouts of diarrhea. The health-care agency said that it is "highly likely" that the 164 lab-confirmed cases of E. coli in the city are a result of food contamination in a central kitchen that a number of the daycare sites share.- Stephanie Ivey
"We chose this [daycare] for a number of reasons: the teachers are lovely, the programs are lovely, but one of the big things for us too, was the food that they were going to be feeding our kids," she said. "So there have been other larger STEC outbreaks, but generally those have affected adults as well as older children."
For those who do require dialysis, the complications caused by HUS may last anywhere from several days to several weeks, he added. Freedman added that he isn't surprised to see the climb in case numbers of those infected, based on the typical timeline of the strain of E. coli, in addition to the number and ages of those initially exposed to the bacteria.
