Abstract excerpt
P1 and ABO antigens and bacterial stx genotypes might influence the risk of developing hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) after Escherichia coli O157:H7 infections. We determined ABO status and P1 antigen expression in 130 infected and 17 uninfected children, and we determined the stx genotype of the infecting isolate. P1 expression was weakly and directly related to HUS risk (P=.04), but this risk did not extend to...
