Escherichia coli (E. coli) infections can present with a range of symptoms, from mild gastrointestinal distress to severe, life-threatening conditions. Understanding the clinical manifestations of E. coli infection is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.
E. coli infections are characterized by a variety of symptoms, predominantly gastrointestinal, such as diarrhea and abdominal cramps. The severity can range from mild to severe, with potential complications including hemolytic uremic syndrome and central nervous system involvement. Non-gastrointestinal symptoms like conjunctivitis can also occur. Due to the variability in clinical presentation, microbiological testing is essential for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
