A fifth child has been confirmed as having kidney failure following an outbreak of the potentially deadly E.coli bug at a nursery, health officials have said.
The 21-month-old boy was in hospital in Glasgow overnight, along with the other four youngsters, as incident control chiefs continued efforts to identify the source of the outbreak.
NHS Fife said it looked "increasingly likely" that the original infection may have been brought into the Careshare Nursery in Dunfermline by an adult or child and others infected through person to person spread.
