Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria is a normal habitant of human gut and thus they are not harmful usually. Some strains (E. coli O157:H7) may cause difficulties such as pain in stomach, cramps, vomiting and diarrhoea. In severe cases, there may be bloody diarrhoea. A person can become infected by E. coli O157:H7 via water or food that are contaminated by the bacteria. Most of the cases need not any treatment.
Signs and symptoms
The person with E coli infection often experience diarrhoea (watery or blood mixed), stomach pain, tenderness of abdomen on palpation, nausea and vomiting within 3 or 4 days after getting infected.
Causas
There are various strains of E coli, but O157:H7 strain affects the lining of gastrointestinal tract. The toxic substance that released by these bacterial strains ruin the lining of stomach wall. E coli get into the human digestive system as an individual ingest contaminated water, food articles, under-cooked meat, unpasteurized milk etc. Direct contact with infected people can also be a reason.
Fisiopatología
Watery or bloody diarrhoea is caused by Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC). They may be E. coli O157:H7 or non O157:H7 serotypes. They produce Shiga-like (which is responsible for haemolytic uremic syndrome/ HUS) toxins and is absorbed by the inflamed lining of intestinal wall. As a result, the function of endothelial cells is disrupted leading to platelet activation.
Diagnóstico
Lab examination of stool for presence of E. coli.
Complicaciones
Though rare, E coli infection may lead to Hemolytic uremic syndrome and is common among older adults and children.
Tratamiento
- coli infection usually relieved by its own. If it causes serious problems like dehydration, proper rest and re-hydration is needed. Anti-diarrhoeal medications are not recommended in this condition because they may interrupt the digestive mechanism. Antibiotics are also not preferred as they can worsen the complications. In case of complications like Hemolytic uremic syndrome, blood transfusion, IV fluids and dialysis can be adopted.
