Centre for Health Protection

The Centre for Health Protection has confirmed this year's second E Coli O157:H7 infection involving a 10-month-old Kowloon City girl.

 

The girl developed fever, vomiting and diarrhoea on July 16 and was admitted to Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Her condition is stable.

 

She had no travel history during the incubation period. Her parents had no symptoms, while her brother and grandmother developed diarrhoea earlier and had recovered.

 

Hong Kong recorded one E Coli O157:H7 infection last year and one in 2006. For prevention tips, click here.
