Symptoma

Enterotoxigenic E. Coli Infection

  • Physician

    Persons with kidney disease should consult a physician before taking medications with large amounts of salicylate. Vaccines for ETEC are being developed, but none are currently available. [cdc.gov]

  • Diarrhea

    Bismuth subsalicylate preparations (1 oz of liquid or two 262.5-mg tablets taken four times daily) can reduce the risk of becoming infected with ETEC and other common bacteria that cause diarrhea. [cdc.gov]

Handwashing with soap and water also can prevent contamination of food and beverages with ETEC and prevent transmission from person to person as well. [cdc.gov]
