The Mount Nittany Medical Center in State College, PA, has confirmed two cases of E. coli in the area. One reportedly involves a local high-school student, but no information was available on the other. It has been identified as enterohemorrhagic E. coli, a Shiga toxin-producing strain. The two E. coli cases have been reported to the Pennsylvania Department of Health as required, but no further information on the individuals involved has been released.
