A Lombard restaurant was temporarily closed by order of the DuPage County Health Department in Illinois to complete the investigation. The restaurant was suspected to be the origin of the E. coli outbreak as four people were admitted to the hospital over this week.

Jason Gerwig, a public information officer for the DuPage County Health Department, refused to provide the name of the restaurant as they are still investigating. They will be able to complete the investigation tomorrow, Monday, and will release a health warning as soon as they confirm the allegation. However, he confirmed that the Mexican restaurant was temporarily closed since Friday at 5 p.m and that the management was cooperative with them.

Aside from the four confirmed cases, health officials were also observing six more that might have the same cases. The patients were all admitted at the Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove since Friday. Jim Silvestri, a spokesman for Good Samaritan, said Friday that eight people had come to the hospital feeling ill but only four had been admitted.

The news first came out in Chicago Tribune.

According to the CDC, E.coli had resulted to 46 hospitalizations between 2009 and 2010 killing three people. 48 percent of the outbreak originated from the restaurant. If you are experiencing severe stomach pains, bloody diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting, it is possible that you have E. coli infection. It is best to rush to the nearest hospital as it is infectious.

Patients would normally recover in a week but there were some who had complications on blood and kidney because of the bloody diarrhea two weeks after. The complications are extremely dangerous because it may lead to kidney failure and long-term disability.
