A total of 6 people, including at least 3 children, have been infected with _E. coli_ at Montessori preschool of Alameda in Northeast Portland [Multnomah County]. [So far] 4 of the people, including 2 children, had the O157:H7 strain of _E. coli_ identified, which health officials say is the most severe type of the bacterium. 2 of those cases [so far] genetically matched the strain found in the recalled IM Healthy SoyNut Butter that sickened 16 other people in 9 states. 2 other children in Clackamas County were also infected by the soynut butter, according to state health officials.

The bacterium causes diarrhea and can produce a toxin that damages blood vessels, particularly in the kidneys.

"We are working closely with families, staff, and school administrators to stop the spread of this infection and understand how this outbreak happened," said Dr Jennifer Vines, Multnomah County Deputy Health Officer.

Most people with O157 strain of _E. coli_ get better within 5 to 7 days but others can have severe or life-threatening infections.

The Health Department is working with the school to prevent the spread of the illness.

[Only 2 of the CDC's latest listing of cases in this outbreak of enterohemorrhagic _E. coli_ (https://www.cdc.gov/ecoli/2017/o157h7-03-17/map.html) were from Oregon, so with this report of 8 cases in the state, the total number is at least 22. 6 of the 8 cases were reported from the same preschool in Portland, Oregon. In settings such as preschools, households, and senior living centers, secondary cases can occur. - Mod.LL
