Escherichia coli (Ecoli) is a leading cause of foodborne illness. Infection with E. coli often leads to bloody diarrhea, and occasionally to kidney failure.

Hemorrhagic colitis, the first E. coli symptom, is characterized by the sudden onset of abdominal pain and severe cramps, followed within 24 hours by diarrhea. As the disease progresses, the diarrhea becomes watery and then may become grossly bloody - bloody to naked eye. E. coli symptoms sometimes include vomiting, but rarely fever.
