A case of microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia and thrombocytopaenia in a 79-year-old woman is presented. The case is unusual in that diarrhoeal symptoms were brief and symptoms of anaemia caused her to re-present to hospital 6 days after the diarrhoea had ceased. Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli O113:H21 producing shiga toxin-2 was isolated from a faecal specimen. This serotype has been reported only a few times to be associated with serious disease. However, it is amongst the 20 most common serotypes carried in cattle and found in beef. This case also illustrates the importance of using shiga-toxin gene detection in faecal cultures (as opposed to cultural methods for detection of the O157:H7 serotype) as the recommended investigation of human disease for accurate epidemiology and attribution of cause.
