Enteropathogenic and enterotoxigenic E coli infection usually presents with acute watery diarrhea without dysentery; infection with enteroinvasive and enterohemorrhagic forms usually present as invasive gastroenteritis, often with grossly bloody stools. Enteropathogenic E coli is a cause of chronic diarrhea that can lead to growth retardation in neonates and children younger than 2 years of age.

Enteroinvasive forms are clinically similar to Shigella infections and can present with … [1]: {openurl}?query=rft.jtitle%253DJ%2BInfect%2BDis%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Adoi%252F10.1086%252F515258%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Apmid%252F9534969%26rft.genre%253Darticle%26rft_val_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Ajournal%26ctx_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ctx_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Actx [2]: /lookup/ijlink?linkType=ABST&journalCode=jinfdis&resid=177/4/962&atom=%2Fpedsinreview%2F25%2F2%2F75.atom [3]: {openurl}?query=rft.jtitle%253DNew%2BEngland%2BJournal%2Bof%2BMedicine%26rft.stitle%253DNEJM%26rft.issn%253D0028-4793%26rft.aulast%253DWong%26rft.auinit1%253DC.%2BS.%26rft.volume%253D342%26rft.issue%253D26%26rft.spage%253D1930%26rft.epage%253D1936%26rft.atitle%253DThe%2BRisk%2Bof%2Bthe%2BHemolytic-Uremic%2BSyndrome%2Bafter%2BAntibiotic%2BTreatment%2Bof%2BEscherichia%2Bcoli%2BO157%253AH7%2BInfections%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Adoi%252F10.1056%252FNEJM200006293422601%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Apmid%252F10874060%26rft.genre%253Darticle%26rft_val_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Ajournal%26ctx_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ctx_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Actx [4]: /lookup/external-ref?access_num=10.1056/NEJM200006293422601&link_type=DOI [5]: /lookup/external-ref?access_num=10874060&link_type=MED&atom=%2Fpedsinreview%2F25%2F2%2F75.atom [6]: /lookup/external-ref?access_num=000087867400001&link_type=ISI [7]: {openurl}?query=rft.jtitle%253DGastroenterology%2Bclinics%2Bof%2BNorth%2BAmerica%26rft.stitle%253DGastroenterol%2BClin%2BNorth%2BAm%26rft.aulast%253DGordon%26rft.auinit1%253DP.%2BH.%26rft.volume%253D30%26rft.issue%253D1%26rft.spage%253D1%26rft.epage%253D13%26rft.atitle%253DAnorectal%2Banatomy%2Band%2Bphysiology.%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Adoi%252F10.1016%252FS0889-8553%252805%252970164-3%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Apmid%252F11394025%26rft.genre%253Darticle%26rft_val_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Ajournal%26ctx_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ctx_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Actx [8]: /lookup/external-ref?access_num=10.1016/S0889-8553(05)70164-3&link_type=DOI [9]: /lookup/external-ref?access_num=11394025&link_type=MED&atom=%2Fpedsinreview%2F25%2F2%2F75.atom
