The management of acute bloody diarrhoea potentially caused by vero cytotoxin producing Escherichia coli in children: a guide for primary care, secondary care and public health practitioners
This guideline is aimed at primary care teams, emergency medicine departments, departments of paediatric medicine and paediatric nephrology and public health and health protection practitioners.
This guideline contains references to vero cytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC), the most important strain of which in the UK is E. coli O157. References may also be found in the literature to Verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli, Verotoxigenic Escherichia coli, and Shiga-toxin-producing or Shiga-like toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157 (STEC); all of these terms are synonymous.

The MIST Therapy system shows potential to enhance the healing of chronic, ‘hard-to-heal’, complex wounds, compared with standard methods of wound management. If this potential is
substantiated then MIST could offer advantages to both patients and the NHS.
