McDonald-linked E coli infection cases in US rise to 104

Washington, Nov 14 (UNI) The number of people in the United States who came down with E. coli infection after eating at a McDonald's fast-food restaurant has risen to 104 from 90 cases reported previously, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Thursday.
"As of November 13, a total of 104 people infected with the outbreak strain of E. coli O157:H7 have been reported from 14 states... Of 98 people with information available, 34 have been hospitalized, and 4 people developed hemolytic uremic syndrome, a serious condition that can cause kidney failure. One death has been reported from an older adult in Colorado," CDC said.
The health authority said the number of cases was likely to rise because it usually takes 3-4 weeks to determine if a sick person is part of an outbreak.
