- On October 29, the North Carolina Division of Public Health (NCDPH) received a report of three cases of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) among children caused by Escherichia coli O157:H7 infection. All three children visited a petting zoo at the North Carolina State Fair during October 15-24. Case finding efforts by NCDPH identified 105 other persons who had become ill with diarrhea after attending the fair. A case-control study was undertaken to identify risk factors for infection with E. coli 0157:H7. Forty-five case-patients and 188 controls who attended the fair and did not get sick were enrolled in the study. A p-value of 0.05 was set as the cutoff for statistical significance. Thirty-six (80%) of 45 case-patients visited the petting zoo, compared with 64 (36%) of 187 controls (odds ratio= 7.7; p<0.0001).
