Risk factors for Escherichia coli O157:H7 infection were investigated in a case-control study at 10 medical centers throughout the United States. Among 73 case-patients and 142 matched controls, exposures in the 7 days before illness associated with E. coli O157:H7 infection in univariate analysis included consumption of hamburger (matched odds ratio [MOR], 3.8; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.9-7.9), undercooked hamburger (MOR, 4.5; 95% CI, 1.6-12.2), or hot dogs (MOR, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.1-4.4); eating at a fast-food restaurant (MOR, 2.3; 95% CI, 1.1-4.6); drinking unchlorinated well water (MOR, 2.4; 95% CI, 1.1-5.7); swimming in a pond (MOR, 5.4; 95% CI, 1.1-26.0); and having a household member with diarrhea (MOR, 11.9; 95% CI, 2.7-53.5). In multivariate analysis, only eating undercooked hamburger remained associated with infection. Seven (8%) of 93 patients developed hemolytic uremic syndrome and 1 died. Prevention strategies aimed at modifying risk factors may help to reduce the risk of infection with E. coli O157:H7.
在美国10家医疗中心开展的一项病例对照研究中,对大肠杆菌O157:H7感染的风险因素进行了调查。在73例病例患者和142例匹配对照中,单因素分析显示,发病前7天内与大肠杆菌O157:H7感染相关的暴露因素包括食用汉堡包(匹配比值比[MOR],3.8;95%置信区间[CI],1.9 - 7.9)、未煮熟的汉堡包(MOR,4.5;95% CI,1.6 - 12.2)或热狗(MOR,2.2;95% CI,1.1 - 4.4);在快餐店就餐(MOR,2.3;95% CI,1.1 - 4.6);饮用未加氯的井水(MOR,2.4;95% CI,1.1 - 5.7);在池塘游泳(MOR,5.4;95% CI,1.1 - 26.0);以及有家庭成员腹泻(MOR,11.9;95% CI,2.7 - 53.5)。多因素分析显示,仅食用未煮熟的汉堡包仍与感染相关。93例患者中有7例(8%)发生了溶血性尿毒症综合征,1例死亡。旨在改变风险因素的预防策略可能有助于降低大肠杆菌O157:H7感染风险。
