The rise in E-coli cases in east London, particularly within the Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust, represents a significant public health concern, with reported infections reaching their highest levels since 2022.
New government data highlights a troubling increase in E-coli infections, with BHRUT reporting 52 cases in June 2024, compared to 41 in May.
Patients are at risk from severe symptoms associated with E-coli, including intense stomach pain and potentially life-threatening complications such as kidney failure.
Despite the alarming increase in bacterial infections, BHRUT has refrained from commenting directly, indicating this issue is considered a matter for public health authorities.
