Abstract

In Queensland, Australia, 31 of 96 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli cases during 2020–2022 were reported by a specialty pathology laboratory servicing alternative health practitioners. Those new cases were more likely to be asymptomatic or paucisymptomatic, prompting a review of the standard public health response.
