The number of victims in a recent Tristate cluster of E. coli illnesses has risen to 29, the Ohio Department of Health reported Thursday.
Since the cluster was revealed last week, the number of cases has steadily climbed from 20 to 22 on Friday to 27 on Wednesday and now to 29.
The two newest cases involved Hamilton County residents. The most recent one was diagnosed Aug. 7, one day after the previous most recent case.
DNA analyses from 20 of the cases have found that 11 in volve bacteria with the same DNA pattern, a finding that implies but does not necessarily prove that the illnesses were triggered by a single common source.
For the past several days, a team from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been investigating the local cluster. The CDC group might release more information todayabout the most likely causes of the illness, said Clermont County Health Commissioner Janet Rickabaugh.
