Eight patients are also experiencing kidney failure.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have now identified 84 cases across four states in an ongoing E. coli outbreak. But the agency is still working to find the food source of the outbreak.. Cases have been reported in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania. No deaths have been reported in connection to the outbreak.
"Investigators are working to confirm whether romaine lettuce is the source of this outbreak, and whether romaine lettuce used in Wendy’s sandwiches was served or sold at other businesses. Wendy’s is fully cooperating with the investigation," the CDC said. According to the CDC, most people infected with E. coli experience severe stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhea, sometimes bloody. Fever and dehydration can also be signs of the illness. Symptoms usually begin three to four days after ingesting the bacteria. Some people infected by E. coli recover without medical care within a week or so while others develop a type of kidney failure that can require hospitalization.
