An E.coli outbreak at an Indiana daycare may have sickened as many as five children. State health officials say there are two confirmed and three suspected cases of E. coli poisoning, all of them associated with the same daycare which has not yet been named.
The two confirmed cases are from Wabash and Fulton counties. Health authorities have not confirmed if the E.coli death of a 9-year-old Rochester girl is among the cases associated with the daycare.
In June, an E. coli outbreak at the Learning Vine daycare center in Greenwood, South Carolina sickened 14 children, one of whom died. Our E.coli attorney Eric Hageman is filing a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of the family whose 2-year old boy died.
About 10 percent of children with E. coli infections develop hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a complication that leads to kidney failure, seizure, stroke, coma, and death.
