Young children and the elderly appear to be at greatest risk of developing HUS or TTP following infection with E. Two complications of E. coli infections have been reported: hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). HUS and TTP are serious illnesses characterized by kidney failure and destruction of the red blood cells leading to anemia, respectively. visits to the countryside pose a greater risk of E coli 0157 infection than contaminated food, an expert task force set up in Scotland to investigate the problem has concluded. Other high risks are associated with farming and ranching as there could be possible contact with fresh animal feces; and it is recommended that precautions be taken to keep farm animals away from land to be used for recreational purposes.
