摘要：

Three cases of haemolytic uraemic syndrome associated with infection with verocytotoxin producing Escherichia coli are described. The concomitant presence of Clostridium difficile cytotoxin in the patients' stool impaired the detection of free faecal verocytotoxin. Stool specimens containing Clostridium difficile cytotoxin should thus be considered negative for verocytotoxin only after neutralisation of the Clostridium difficile cytotoxin with antitoxin.
