In recent years, Escherichia coli (E. coli) 0157:H7 has developed into an emerging cause of foodborne illness. It has been identified as the leading cause of postdiarrheal hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) and acute renal failure in infancy and childhood. This article examines, the etiology, clinical features, complications, and treatment of this illness. Prevention strategies are also presented as well as a disaster management case study.
