—Circulating LBP concentrations in E. coli O157:H7 infections (mean ± 95% confidence intervals [CI]). LBP levels in plasma among 10 normal controls (NC), 15 children with uncomplicated HC, and 10 children with HUS. Subjects were matched for the time interval elapsed between onset of enteritis and blood sample collection (6.5 ± 3.3 versus 6.8 ± 3.8 days, respectively [not a significant difference]). Twofold-increased LBP concentrations were noted for children with HUS compared to those with uncomplicated HC (P < 0.005 [Mann-Whitney U test]). Among 9 children with uncomplicated HC, serial LBP measurements were as follows (means ± 95% CI): first sample, 8.7 ± 6.2 pg’ml; second sample, 4.0 ± 3.4 pg/ml (P <MEASUREME0.01). LBP concentrations remained lower than those among children with HUS (P < 0.009).
