The Indianapolis Star reported today that the number of E. coli infections tied to Galena Elementary School in Floyd County, Indiana, has risen to ten.  Among the ten sickened, seven have been hospitalized with hemolytic uremic syndrome in Louisville, Kentucky. 

All the people infected are linked to Gelena Elementary School about 15 miles northwest of Louisville, Ky. Three of the cases are not students.

Brian Rublein, spokesman for Kosair Children's Hospital in Louisville, said seven children were hospitalized for E. coli infections, but he said federal privacy laws prohibited him from identifying them or describing their conditions.

While local, state, and federal investigators have not yet been able to identify the source of the E. coli outbreak, the school remains open.
