Description:The Laboratory-based Enteric Disease Surveillance (LEDS) system contributes to the understanding of human Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) in the United States by collecting reports submitted by state and regional public health laboratories. Reporting to LEDS is voluntary; the number of laboratories submitting reports varies somewhat from year to year, although almost all public health laboratories report every year. This report includes only the first isolate of a given STEC serogroup per person within a 30-day period if more than one was reported. Data on whether the illness was clinically compatible with STEC infection are not provided with these laboratory reports; we call the reports STEC infections because we assume that specimens were obtained because of illness.
Data in this report are current as of April 6, 2020.
