What Are The Common Symptoms of HUS E. Coli Infection?

As dedicated Flathead County HUS E. coli attorneys, we believe it's crucial to educate our clients about the symptoms to watch for and the importance of seeking immediate medical and legal assistance.

Symptoms of a first E. Coli infection, such as severe cramping in the stomach, bloody diarrhea, and vomiting, are often followed by common symptoms of HUS E. coli infection. Although they might occur as soon as one day or as late as 10 days after consumption, these symptoms often manifest three to four days following exposure to food that has been contaminated.

As HUS develops, additional and more severe symptoms may emerge, indicating a critical need for medical intervention. These symptoms include:

• Decreased urination: A noticeable decrease in the amount or frequency of urine produced, occasionally ending entirely.
• Pale or yellowed skin (jaundice): This is a sign of liver damage or the death of red blood cells.
• Fatigue and irritability: Due to anemia, caused by the breakdown of red blood cells.
• Bruising or unusual bleeding: Caused by a low platelet count, which interferes with blood clotting.
• Swelling: Caused by fluid retention and renal failure, especially in the face, hands, feet, or whole body.

If you or a loved one exhibits these symptoms, it is imperative to seek immediate medical attention. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent the progression of HUS and its potentially life-threatening complications.
