Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC): Update on outbreak in the EU (14 July 2011, 11:00)
As of today, the cumulative number of probable and confirmed STEC cases in the EU/EEA is 3 867.
This includes 762 HUS STEC cases and 3 105 non-HUS STEC cases.
In total, 44 infected persons have died, of which 28 were HUS STEC cases and 16 were non-HUS STEC cases.
The table below shows the distribution of cumulative probable and confirmed STEC cases per country. The graph below shows the distribution of the probable and confirmed HUS STEC cases reported since 15 June, by date of reporting to the ECDC and by country.
In Germany, since the last update, one HUS STEC case has been excluded, and 20 non-HUS STEC cases have been reported.
Within the last 10 days (4 July ? 13 July), one HUS STEC case and eight non-HUS STEC cases fell ill.
The last known date of illness onset in a patient with confirmed STEC O104 was 7 July 2011. This was also the last reported date of illness onset among all cases.
A link to the daily update from the Robert Koch Institute is provided below.

Suspected cases (Germany: 146 HUS STEC (7 deaths), France: 5 non-HUS STEC) are not included.
