The number of children sickened by a massive E. coli outbreak at 11 Calgary-area daycares has now doubled.
Twenty-two children are in hospital due to serious symptoms — 16 at the Alberta Children's Hospital and the rest at the Peter Lougheed Centre.
Cora Constantinescu, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at the Alberta Children's Hospital, says children are considered high-risk for developing HUS."This is why it's really important to detect this early because you want to make sure that their kidneys are getting the right amount of hydration or volume in their body."
Six Fueling Brains Academy locations in Calgary and five other sites will remain closed until the issue is resolved.
