USA – Maquoketa Iowa children stricken by E. coli – some with HUS

Food Poison Journal

MAQUOKETA, Iowa — Several Maquoketa children are receiving care at University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital in Iowa City after developing serious complications from E. coli.

But local health officials have not yet identified the source.

Multiple Maquoketa children developed hemolytic uremic syndrome, prompting the treatment in Iowa City. HUS is a serious complication that can be caused by shiga toxin-producing E. coli, also known as STEC.

The Jackson County Health Department, through Genesis VNA, is working to determine what might have caused the outbreak. Community Health Manager Michele Cullen said Monday that this process involves contact tracing, but a source has not yet been identified.

Research – Manual for estimating the burden of foodborne diseases by countries

ACSA

Given the large number of foodborne illnesses reported each year, the World Health Organization (WHO) has developed a manual to help countries measure the burden of foodborne illness and identify the needs of the food security system and data gaps so that they can strengthen national infrastructure and better protect people’s health.

This new manual provides detailed guidance on assessing the burden of disease caused by microbiological agents commonly transmitted through food. It is specially designed for national use and provides a complete picture of the requirements, the enabling factors, the challenges and opportunities involved, and the process steps. It also aims to promote the harmonization of methodologies for estimating the burden of foodborne diseases between countries.
