- Anemia
Hemolytic uremic syndrome is characterized by acute renal failure, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, fever, and thrombocytopenia. Indeed, HUS is one of the most common causes of acute renal failure in children. [ehagroup.com]
So far, there are hundreds ill with 45 children experiencing hemolytic anemia and kidney failure. Already, we can report three deaths due to this incredibly dangerous pathogen. [study.com]
This can cause anemia, a low platelet count, and kidney failure. Platelets, the blood cells responsible for blood clotting, clump together within the small blood vessels of the kidneys, resulting in reduced blood flow, or ischemia. [medicalnewstoday.com]
- Anorexia
The clinical presentation of EIC consists of mild watery diarrhea, fatigue, malaise, fever and anorexia during the early stages of infection. This is followed by dehydration, abdominal cramps, tenesmus, stools with blood and mucus ( 102 ). [antimicrobe.org]
Respiratoric
- Pneumonia
E coli pneumonia may also result from microaspiration of upper airway secretions that have been previously colonized with this organism in severely ill patients; hence, it is a cause of nosocomial pneumonia. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Abstract A 32-wk gestation female patient had Escherichia coli pneumonia, hyaline membranes, and pulmonary hemorrhage and died 20 h after birth. E. coli was cultured from the placenta and from both lungs at autopsy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
NDM-1) The production of MBLs of the IMP and VIM types, have mostly been detected in P. aeruginosa and remain relatively rare in members of the Enterobacteriaceae except for K. pneumoniae and E. coli present in Mediterranean Europe (VIM-producing K. pneumoniae [antimicrobe.org]
Gastrointestinal
- Diarrhea
RESULTS: Prevalence of STEC infection was 4.1% among subjects presenting with watery diarrhea for ≤ 5 days' duration, bloody diarrhea for ≤ 36 hours' duration, or both. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Enteroaggregative E coli (EAggEC) is primarily associated with persistent diarrhea in children in developing countries, and enteroadherent E coli (EAEC) is a cause of childhood diarrhea and traveler's diarrhea in Mexico and North Africa. [emedicine.medscape.com]
- Nausea
Probiotic treatment was associated with a larger increase in Bristol stool scale scores and more fever, headache and nausea after the ETEC challenge compared with the placebo treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Some strains of E. coli infection can include nausea, vomiting, and fever. [medicalnewstoday.com]
- Abdominal Cramps
Symptoms of disease include abdominal cramps and diarrhoea, which may be bloody. Fever and vomiting may also occur. Most patients recover within 10 days, although in a few cases the disease may become life-threatening. [who.int]

Watery or bloody diarrhea Severe abdominal cramps Nausea Tiredness Fever E. Coli can be diagnosed through a stool sample checked for the presence of the bacteria. More than one stool sample may be needed. [sgihealth.com]
The most common symptoms are abdominal cramping and diarrhea, which or may not be bloody. In an uncomplicated case, the illness should recover in less than 5-10 days. [ehagroup.com]
- Abdominal Pain
Patients presented with abdominal pain and diarrhea at 1, 3 and 7 years after living-related renal transplantation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Symptoms include bloody watery diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Bowel inflammation with spasmodic abdominal pain, bloody stool, and partial fever occurs during a severe course of the disease. [prevent-and-protect.com]
- Hemorrhagic Diarrhea
A 49-year-old healthy Japanese woman presented with hemorrhagic diarrhea because of Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli infection, and then hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) developed in the patient. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This organism may cause septicemia, neonatal meningitis, infantile gastroenteritis, tourist diarrhea, and hemorrhagic diarrhea. An E. coli infection may also arise due to environmental exposure. [encyclopedia.com]
Urogenital
- Uremia
In this syndrome, red blood cells are destroyed (called hemolysis), and kidney failure occurs, causing toxic substances to build up in the blood (called uremia). This complication is a common cause of chronic kidney disease in children. [msdmanuals.com]
HUS/TTP is a serious, often fatal, syndrome that has other causes in addition to E. coli O157:H7; it is characterized by the breaking up of red blood cells (hemolysis) and kidney failure (uremia). [encyclopedia.com]
As such these toxins can effect vascular damage, which can lead to thrombocytopenia, hemolytic uremia, and renal failure. This constellation defines HUS and can be fatal. EIEC : EIEC infection is very similar in clinical presentation to shigellosis. [infectionlandscapes.org]
Treatment
For the first time, stx expression was followed in human colonic environment: at 9 and 12 h post EHEC infection, probiotic treatment significantly decreased stx mRNA levels. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Knowledge of the long-term prognosis of acute toxigenic E. coli ingestion, based on the presentation of acute illness, is important for patient counseling and follow-up. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis In most cases of O157:H7, symptoms last for about a week and recovery is often spontaneous. Ten percent of individuals with E. coli O157:H7 infection develop HUS; 5% of those will die of the disease. [encyclopedia.com]
Etiology
METHODS: We performed a prospective study to determine the etiology of diarrheal illness among patients and control subjects of all ages presenting to the emergency departments and outpatient clinics of 2 large academic hospitals in Baltimore, Maryland [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiology of E. coli O157:H7 The disease etiology is universal and can be foodborne or environmental amongst others. [ehagroup.com]
[…] latent UPEC infection, suggest that deficiency in a key autophagy protein can be protective against infection in an animal model of one of the most common diseases of women worldwide, and may have significant clinical implications for understanding the etiology [pnas.org]
Escherichia coli have many different types of etiological agents. There are four different types of serotypes for E. coli. These main types are unique according to the virulence mechanism. [austincc.edu]

Pathophysiology
Whether alteration in SERT activity contributes to the pathophysiology of diarrhea induced by the food-borne pathogen enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is not known. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
