UK: School investigates after sister and brother suffer E coli bug - (The Scotsman)
February 6, 2008 – 5:57 pmInvestigations were under way last night after an outbreak of E coli O157 in a primary school.
The story says that a three-year-old girl in the nursery class at Wester Overton Primary in Strathaven, Lanarkshire, was critically ill, and her six-year-old brother also needed antibiotic treatment, but both have since recovered.
