France Records First E. coli Death
Authorities have recorded the first death in France’s E coli outbreak
Dr Benoit Vendrely at Bordeaux Hospital in southwest France said the 78-year-old woman died early Saturday morning
She had been hospitalized in Bordeaux since June 24 with hemolytic uremic syndrome – the rare kidney condition that the most seriously ill victims of the outbreak are suffering from
Vendrely said the strain of Ecoli the woman was infected with was not the one implicated in the deaths of 48 people in Germany and one each in the United States and Sweden He didn’t identify the source of the French woman’s E coli contamination
Seven other patients remain at the same French hospital, six of whom have been confirmed to have the same strain of Ecoli as in the outbreak that originated in Germany European health experts said Thursday that contaminated Egyptian fenugreek seeds were likely the source of that deadly outbreak
