Long-term health outcomes of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157 (STEC O157) infection and STEC-associated haemolytic uraemic syndrome (STEC-HUS), Wales, 1990–2020
Long-term complications were nearly twice as likely in the STEC O157 cohort, and as many as eight times more likely following STEC-HUS. We recommend that those exposed to STEC be monitored for at least five years for late-emerging kidney and extrarenal complications.
