Boy treated for E Coli infection

Centre for Health Protection

The Centre for Health Protection has confirmed this year's first E Coli O157:H7 infection involving an 18-month-old Kowloon City boy.

 

The boy came down with fever and vomiting on May 5. He was admitted to Queen Elizabeth Hospital on May 12 and was discharged two days later. He had no travel history during the incubation period and none of his family members at home had symptoms.

 

Hong Kong recorded one E Coli O157:H7 infection last year and one in 2006. None were recorded in 2005 nor 2004. For health tips, click here.
