WASHINGTON: E. coli afflicts victim’s sibling - (Everett Herald)
October 4, 2007 – 6:27 pmEVERETT — Public health officials were cited as saying Wednesday that although a second child from an Everett family has been confirmed as having an E. coli infection, there’s no indication the disease has spread to anyone outside the family.
Suzanne Pate, spokeswoman for the Snohomish Health District, was quoted as saying, “This is not considered to be an outbreak. We have no other cases at this time of E. coli in Snohomish County.”
However, tests results are pending on the children’s grandmother, who lives in King County.
If she has become sickened with the disease, she likely became sick “through contact with one of the children,” said James Apa, a spokesman for Public Health Seattle and King County.
Restaurants have been ruled out as the source of the infection, Pate said.
