Twenty E. coli cases linked to illness outbreak in KY By Doug Hogan/Beth Fisher Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Department for Public Health (DPH) announced today that 20 Kentuckians have tested positive with a strain of E. coli O103. Public health investigators have not yet identified the source of the outbreak, but have noted that some sort of food distribution is a likely mechanism for this outbreak among many of the individuals afflicted by the sometimes life-threatening bacteria. The reported cases involve a number of children as well as adults, many of whom reside in Central Kentucky. No deaths linked to the outbreak have been reported but six people have been hospitalized. Healthcare providers across the state have been notified of the outbreak and are advised to be alert for patients experiencing acute diarrheal illness, which could be associated with E. coli. Appropriate testing and investigative work will need to be completed to determine which cases are outbreak-associated. This is a particular strain of E. coli that produces a type of toxin (Shiga toxin) that can be dangerous for those infected.

KY Lawmakers approve pension relief for universities, public agencies By John Cheves, Jack Brammer and Daniel Desrochers, Lexington Herald-Leader The House and Senate reached a deal Thursday night on how to provide pension relief for the state's regional universities and "quasi-public" agencies, such as county health departments, mental health nonprofits and other groups that are technically outside state government.
