The total number of cases adds up to twelve concerned - including four with life-threatening hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) with renal failure and anemia.

The Schwarzwald-Baar-Klinikum had especially at the beginning of the EHEC-spreading of the few patients who had gone to worry about a possible infection in the emergency rooms. In suspected cases had been any infection will also be clarified so grave Hospital spokesman Peter Lord. Basically, it takes two days, was until possible EHEC infection demonstrated unequivocally in patients - now available rapid tests would come in the Black Forest-Baar-Klinikum not yet used.
Within the hospital operation has Ehec the way, still consequences for all patients and staff: "The menu is with us still no raw food," said grave Lord: "We hold on to the recommendations of the Robert Koch Institute, and the warning is still against the consumption of cucumbers, tomatoes and green salads and raw vegetables.
