The reports of infections and outbreaks due to Escherichia coli 0157:H7 have increased in the EU for the last five years. The clinical spectrum of the infection varies from hemorrhagic colitis, hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) and rarely, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. This infection is new to Bulgaria, and we report a case of VT1 and VT2 positive E. coli O157:H7 with the presentation of this organism with the onset of haemorrhagic colitis, HUS and lethal exitus of the patient.
