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. The Shiga-toxin producing E. coli can spread through contaminated food, water, contact with animals or from person to person, the health department said.

Symptoms can range from severe stomach cramps to potentially bloody diarrhea. Some may also experience vomiting or a low fever. Symptoms usually start within three to four days after exposure and can take up to 10 days to appear. "We encourage students and members of the
