A retrospective study was carried out for the detection of hemorrhagic colitis associated with <I>Escherichia coli</I> 0157: H7, using stool specimens which were collected from 464 cases of diarrhea during a 9-month period in 1984 were kept in Cary-Blair medium. <I>E. coli</I> 0157: H7 which produced markedly vero-cytotoxin (VT) neutralized with anti-Shiga toxin was found in specimens from one child with grossly bloody diarrhea.His brother was also suffered from bloody diarrhea, and he developed thehemolytic-uremic syndrome 13 days after onset of illness.In the latter case, the retrospective examination of stool specimens kept in Cary-Blair medium did not reveal the presence of <I>E. coli</I> 0157: H7, but vero-cytotoxic activity was demonstrated in filtrate of his specimens.The presence of VT neutralising activity in patients serum at 21 days of illness was investigated, and was detected neutralising antibody titres of 1: 8 against 4 units of the appropriate cytotoxin preparation.<BR>The results suggest that the incidence of hemorrhagic colitis caused by <I>E. coli</I> 0157: H7 occurs in Japan and that patients with diarrhea should be studied for <I>E. coli</I> O157: H7.MacConkey-sorbitol agar was discussed as an effective differential isolation medium for <I>E. coli</I> O157: H7.
