2-year-old boy dies from E.coli after visiting the San Diego County Fair

Four children have been infected with E. Coli — one fatally — after visiting the county fair in San Diego.

The children infected ranged between ages 2 and 13, and their cases have been linked to contact with animals at the San Diego County Fair, the county said in a statement Friday.

Three of the children did not have to go to the hospital, the release said. But the youngest, a 2-year-old boy, died from complications of the disease at a hospital Monday.

All four children visited animal areas or the petting zoo, which have been closed to the public since the reports, the county said.

The city asked that anyone who had symptoms of E. Coli on or after June 8 report it to a healthcare provider.
