- W1597962084 abstract "In June '93, 4 children, aged 1.5-3.5 years, all living in one town, were admitted to our hospital with the diagnosis hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) within one week. In cooperation with the local health authorities a common source was searched for. Questionnaires indicated that the single condition shared by all patients was swimming water. The patients were not acquainted, visited different daycares, and had no food resources in common. All 4 patients bathed in the same, shallow, recreational lake within a period of 5 days. During this time the air temperature was high according to Dutch standards (around 27 degrees C), and many people visited the lake, estimated several hundreds a day. The water level was lower than normal. Diarrhea followed 3-11 days after swimming and the first clinical symptoms of HUS developed 6-7 days after the onset of diarrhea. The lake was closed for swimming when the fourth HUS patient was diagnosed and the possibility of transmission by way of the lake was mentioned. E. coli O157: H7 was demonstrated in the fecal samples of 2 index patients. The samples were taken 9-20 days after the start of diarrhea. Antibodies to O157 and verotoxin 2 were strongly positive in all patients. A local outbreak of diarrheal illness was not registered. Of 16 family members who also swam in the same lake, 7 developed symptoms of enteritis, 3 had positive cultures of their fecal samples and 5 had positive serology. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of the E. coli isolates of the patients and family members showed an identical pattern. No O157: H7-DNA could be detected in filter concentrated lake water samples using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) enhancement. These samples were, however, taken 16 days after the latest possible date of contamination of our patients, 15 days after decrease of the air temperature to 15-17 degrees C, and 14 days after the inlet from water from the environment. It could thus very well be that the microorganism was no longer present. This third report of swimming water associated HUS should direct environmental surveys in similar cases of local HUS outbreaks." @default.
