DISEASE: Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) infection

Entry

H01311                      Disease

Name

Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) infection

Description

Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) infection is common in developing countries and comparatively rare in developed countries. EIEC invades intestinal epithelial cells, causing necrosis, ulceration of the mucous membrane, resulting in a dysentery-like syndrome with fever and mucous-bloody stools. EIEC strains contain a large invasion-associated plasmid, which are nearly identical to those of Shigella species.
