Pure Eire Yogurt E. coli Outbreak Sickens 15 in Washington and Arizona
The Pure Eire Yogurt E. coli outbreak has now sickened 15 people in Washington state and Arizona, according to an update by the Washington Department of Health. Nine people have been hospitalized, which is double the usual percentage for an E. coli outbreak, and four patients have developed hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a kind of kidney failure.
The Washington DOH is one;y reporting cases that have been genetically linked. Local health departments may report higher numbers that may include cases that are till under investigation.
The case count by county in Washington state is: Benton (1), Clark (1), King (9), Snohomish (2), Walla Walla (1), and one case in Yavapai in Arizona. The Arizona patient was likely a secondary infection, meaning the person sickened was probably made ill by someone traveling from Washington to Arizona who was already ill from the yogurt. E. coli can be spread person-to-person.
There are now 15 confirmed cases of E. coli in five counties linked to yogurt from an Eastern Washington dairy farm, the Department of Health announced Wednesday.
