On the cover: “Saint Thecla Liberating the City of Este from
the Plague.” Painting � Scala / Art Resource, NY. Reproduced
with permission.
This painting, titled Saint Thecla Liberating the City of Este
from the Plague, is by the renowned 18th-century Venetian
artist, Giambattista Tiepolo (1696–1770). It depicts the coming
of the plague epidemic of 1630 to the town of Este, in
northern Italy near Venice. The afflicted people and Saint
Thecla, who was asked to intercede in their behalf, occupy
the foreground, and town landmarks are shown in the background.
The artist makes dramatic use of perspective, which
is characteristic of his style. A sketch of the work, dated
1758–9, is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of
Art in New York; the painting is in the cathedral of Saint
Thecla, in Este, Italy. (Ann Arvin, Cover Art Editor)

Outbreak of Non-O157 Shiga Toxin–Producing
Escherichia coli Infection from Consumption
of Beef Sausage

We describe an outbreak of Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli O26:H11
infection in 20 patients (median age, 2 years). The source of the infection was
an organic fermented beef sausage. The source was discovered by using credit
card information to obtain and compare customer transaction records from the
computer systems of supermarkets. [pp. e78–e81]

Tuberculosis characteristics and incidence were assessed among patients
with concurrent human immunodeficiency virus infection and chronic hepatitis C
virus infection who were receiving interferon-based therapy at 3 hospitals in
Spain. Four of 570 patients (0.7 cases per 100 person-years; 95% confidence
interval, 0.19–1.78 cases per 100 person-years) received a diagnosis of
tuberculosis; all of them presented with a decrease in CD4+ cell count before
diagnosis, and 3 of them received a delayed diagnosis. After tuberculosis
treatment, all patients were cured. [pp. e82–e85]
