During this bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli) are more commonly known to cause digestive problems like diarrhea. But another effect of coli bacteria contamination was more than just diarrhea. Anything?
A study published in the British Medical Journal found those who consumed water contaminated with E. coli have an increased risk of developing high blood pressure, kidney problems and heart disease later in life.
The team of researchers from the Lawson Health Research Institute and The University of Western Ontario to assess the risk for high blood pressure, kidney disorders and cardiovascular disease also occurs in 8 years since suffering gastroenteritis (digestive problems) from contaminated drinking water bacterium Escherichia coli.
The team used data from the Walkerton Health Study, which is the first study to evaluate long-term health after an outbreak of gastroenteritis in the U.S. in May 2000. Participants were surveyed every year, undergo a physical examination and laboratory tests to evaluate the long-term health.
Approximately 54 percent of participants experienced an acute gastroenteritis and some of them need medical attention. Known participants who experienced acute gastroenteritis risk 1.3 times more likely to have hypertension, 3.4 times more likely to develop kidney damage and 2.1 times more likely to experience cardiovascular disease such as heart attack or stroke.
"Our findings underscore the need to follow up cases of food poisoning or water caused by E. coli 0157: H7 to prevent or reduce progressive vascular injury," said Dr. William Clark, a researcher from Lawson, as quoted from Health24, Wednesday (24/11 / 2010).
Dr. Clark is also a Nephrologist at London Health Sciences Centre said that the importance for communities to ensure food and water consumed free of E.coli infection.
