Overview
Effective measures for the primary prevention of HUS include sufficient cooking of all meat and adequate preparation of milk or related products.
Primary Prevention
Effective strategies for primary prevention of HUS:[1][2][3]
- Sufficiently cook raw beef to avoid transmitting infection
- Change diapers using the strictest hygiene
- Adequately prepare milk or related products
- Encourage cattle vaccination to avoid contamination of feces and cattle hide with HUS-causing strains of STEC
- Wash hands sufficiently after handling raw meat
- Expeditious reporting is encouraged because any STEC infection may signify a previously unrecognized outbreak. Daycare and household contacts should be monitored closely, since case clusters are common.
