Overview:

Shiga toxin-producing Escherchia coli (STEC) can cause severe enteric infections and the potentially life threatening hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).  Prompt diagnosis of these infections is important to implement early clinical management that minimizes the likelihood of developing HUS, to reduce the risk of transmitting the infection to others, and to detect outbreaks. During this call, a CDC subject matter expert will describe the epidemiology of STEC infection in the U.S. and laboratory tests used to diagnose STEC infections.  In addition, a leading expert in infectious disease will provide clinical guidance on how to effectively manage patients with STEC.
