Most people infected with STEC O26 develop diarrhea and vomiting. Some illnesses last longer and can be more severe.
Vigorous rehydration is the usual treatment.
Most people recover within a week, but some can develop a more severe infection. Hemolytic uremic syndrome, a type of kidney failure, is common with STEC O26 infection. HUS can occur in people of any age but is most common in children under 5 years old, older adults and persons with weakened immune systems. It is marked by easy bruising, pallor and decreased urine output.
