Overview
Symptoms of E. coli enteritis include diarrhea (either diarrhea|watery or bloody), nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and bloating with or without fever. Less common symptoms may be related to complications of E. coli enteritis, such as hemolytic uremic syndrome, and may include spontaneous bruising, oliguria/anuria, and painless gross hematuria.
History and Symptoms
History
History-taking for patients with E. coli enteritis is generally remarkable for the following findings:
- Recent ingestion of uncooked or poorly handled vegetables or meat
- Enterohemorrhagic E. coli O157:H7 is commonly associated with ingestion of ground beef (e.g. in hamburgers) or alfalfa sprouts
- Recent drinking from untreated water (e.g. stream or well)
- Recent travel
- Enterotoxicogenic E. coli is the most common cause of travel diarrhea
Symptoms
Common Symptoms
Common symptoms of E. coli enteritis include:
- Sudden-onset, mild/severe diarrhea that may either be watery or bloody
- Fever
- Bloating
- Diffuse, cramping abdominal pain
Less Common Symptoms
- Less common symptoms of E. coli enteritis are related to the development of complications, such as hemolytic uremic syndrome. Symptoms include:
- Spontaneous bruising
- Painless gross hematuria
- Oliguria/anuria
