Phases of high-risk Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) infection
Interval bounds are approximate. Resolution can occur at any point after the diarrhea begins, but rarely before day 4 of illness. A small subset of children infected with high-risk STEC will develop hemolytic uremic syndrome but not have any diarrhea.
E. coli: Escherichia coli; STEC: Shiga toxin-producing E. coli.
