This is the best summary I could come up with:


This comes after an outbreak of the shiga toxin-producing E. coli, which can cause serious issues, at a number of daycares in Calgary.

The outbreak has resulted in a number of children in hospital and on dialysis after developing hemolytic uremic syndrome, a disease which affects the kidneys.

At a press conference Tuesday, Dr. Mark Joffe, the province's chief medical officer of health, said the inspection came after a noticeable increase in young children coming to the emergency departments in the city with gastrointestinal complaints, including bloody diarrhea.

The emergency department physicians were very astute and quickly recognized that something unusual was happening and they reached out to the medical officer of health on call and to the team," Joffe said.

The tin cat traps by the two separate two-compartment sinks had at least 20 cockroaches on the sticky pads each," the report read.

There are currently 25 patients receiving care in hospital, the province said in an emailed media release โ€” 22 of whom are confirmed as having hemolytic uremic syndrome, which is a severe illness caused by E. coli infection.


The original article contains 611 words, the summary contains 182 words. Saved 70%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
