WHO cautions against antibiotics in E coli outbreak
The World Health Organization advised against using antibiotics for the current E coli outbreak linked to Germany, saying it may worsen illness. Anti diarrhea medications are also discouraged as they slow bacterial elimination. WHO epidemiologist Andrea Ellis noted some doctors may choose antibiotics in specific cases but generally avoid home use. The outbreak has sickened over 1,700 and killed at least 18, with the new strain not yet detected by existing rapid tests.
