“…Grossly, evidence of colitis has never been seen in infancy such as was noted in one of the adult volunteers in the report of Formal, Dupont, Hornick, Snyder, Libonati, and Labrec (1971). Histologically, there is often no abnormality to be noted in the small or large intestinal mucosa, confirming the original observations of Bray (1945) and the later reports of Bray and Beavan (1948), Giles, Sangster, and Smith (1949), and Taylor, Powell, and Wright (1949). Reparative changes similar to those recorded in the two fatal cases of this outbreak have been seen from time to time with E. coli 055 and 0111 (Boyd, unpublished observations), but usually damage is of lesser severity than that described by Rozansky, Berant, Rosenmann, Ben-Ari, and Sterk (1964).…”

SYNOPSIS Twelve cases of gastroenteritis caused by Escherichia coli 0142K86H6 are described. Ten of these caseswere clearly involved in an outbreak of cross infection. The other two cases yielded interesting information on infection with E. coli. 0142. Five cases, two being fatal, required repeated intravenous infusion, and one further infant required parenteral replacement therapy on a single occasion only. Cross infection occurred at the primary site-a ward partitioned into cubiclesdespite full barrier nursing techniques. Infection spread also to two other wards, and resulted from transfer of latently infected cases. Illness in several infants was protracted and debilitating because of the relapsing nature of the infection. The pathology of the two fatalities is reported briefly.

“…Organisms of the Salmonella and Shigella groups were absent in this series of cases. Bray (1945), Bray and Beavan (1948), Giles and Sangster (1948), and Taylor, Powell, and Wright (1949) have all described this particular serological type of Bact. coli associated with a high percentage of cases of infantile diarrhoea and vomiting.…”
