All three children visited a petting zoo at the North Carolina State Fair during October 15-24. Case finding efforts by NCDPH identified 105 other persons who had become ill with diarrhea after attending the fair. A case-control study was undertaken to identify risk factors for infection with E. coli 0157:H7. Forty-five case-patients and 188 controls who attended the fair and did not get sick were enrolled in the study. A p-value of 0.05 was set as the cutoff for statistical significance. Thirty-six (80%) of 45 case-patients visited the petting zoo, compared with 64 (36%) of 187 controls (odds ratio= 7.7; p<0.0001). In an analysis of case-patients and controls who were aged <6 years who visited the petting zoo, the following results were found: Exposure Touching or stepping in manure Falling…arrow_forward
