A total of 22 were reported from May through October. Among them one outbreak at Sakai City in July and August was extremely large and more than 5,700 patients with 3 deaths were reported. A unique characteristic of these outbreaks was that 8 of 22 occurred in primary and secondary schools due to luncheons provided by schools. One of the most important characteristics of E. coli 0157:H7 is its production of Vero toxins (or Shiga-like toxins). Symptoms or complications of E. coli 0157:H7 infection, such as hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome, are caused by Vero toxins. It is reported that antibiotic therapy, such as that with fosfomycin, is effective to prevent a possible development of hemorrhagic uremic syndrome.}, pages = {200--208}, title = {腸管出血性大腸菌(病原性大腸菌O157)感染症(新興・再興感染症,シンポジウム,東京女子医科大学学会第63回総会特集)}, volume = {68}, year = {1998} }
