Several strains, such as O157:H7, are known to provoke severe gastrointestinal problems including bloody diarrhea and
hemorrhagic colitis and can lead to serious health complications, including kidney failure.

hemorrhagic colitis in 1982.
Hemorrhagic colitis appears to be a distinct clinical entity, characterized by severe crampy abdominal pain, grossly bloody diarrhea, little or no fever, a characteristic barium-enema finding of marked edema involving the cecum, ascending and/or transverse colon, and the absence of usual pathogens in stool.
