The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) is working with local health jurisdictions to respond to a multi-county outbreak of E. coli that might be linked to fresh produce. There are currently six confirmed cases across Benton, King, Snohomish, and Walla Walla counties. Three cases have been hospitalized, and one has developed HUS. DOH is only reporting confirmed cases infected with bacteria that have been genetically linked. However, local health officials may report higher numbers for their counties that include cases still under investigation. Other similar cases are being investigated in Washington State. @ https://www.kxly.com/public-health-officials-investigating-multi-county-e-coli-outbreak/
