KCTV5

Post-diarrheal Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome is a severe, life-threatening complication that occurs in about 10% of those infected with Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7 or other Shiga toxin-producing E. coli. That means that there is a bit of a statistical oddity or there are some 40 others ill out there.
