Athens health department investigating at least 11 Shiga E. coli cases at Ohio University

The Athens City-County Health Department and officials at Ohio University are investigating the source of several confirmed cases of E. coli on the university's Athens campus. The health department on Nov. 13 reported at least 11 laboratory-confirmed cases of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli , up from four confirmed cases originally announced Nov. 11. All of the cases identified so far involve students on the university's Athens campus, according to health officials. The health department said it is working along with university officials to "identify possible exposures" and to find out if the cases share a common source, as well as determine any ongoing risk.

Symptoms can range from severe stomach cramps to potentially bloody diarrhea. Some may also experience vomiting or a low fever.
