Chairman of the Romanian Society of Microbiology Alexandru Rafila on Thursday said that the cause for the recent Arges infants falling ill with the haemolytic-uremic syndrome is Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, serotype 026, which is different from the E-coli usually inhabiting the human intestines.
He ruled out other hypotheses, such as viral infection, rotavirus, vaccination or chemical poisoning. AGERPRES
