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]
