Seven people in Connecticut are confirmed ill with E. coli infections in the Windham/Willimantic area, according to local news station [WFSB](http://www.wfsb.com/story/24415726/several-cases-of-e-coli-reported-in-windam-willimantic?ref=foodsafetynews.com). The source of the illnesses is not known. Two of the cases have developed into hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a potentially fatal kidney disease associated with severe E. coli outbreaks. Those two patients remain hospitalized. Health department authorities suspect the illnesses occurred around mid-December.
