Blood Drive For OK Boy Battling E. coli HUS Kidney Failure

April 6, 2014 by Carla Gillespie

The Oklahoma Blood Institute is holding a special blood drive for eight-year-old Connor Sneary, one of the youngest victims of an E. coli outbreak associated with the Oklahoma Youth Expo. A dozen people became sick after attending the event held in March at the Oklahoma state fairgrounds. Sneary and another child, who is two years old, have both been hospitalized with hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a life-threatening complication of E. coli infections in young children that causes kidney failure and other complications.
Sneary is undergoing dialysis and blood transfusions in the intensive care unit at OU Children’s Hospital, according to local news reports. He is in critical condition. The blood drive for him will be held on Tuesday, April 8, from noon to 6 p.m., at the First Christian Church in Alva, OK.
