MILWAUKEE, April 9 - " Did your daughter eat meat that was pink or red? " The

nurse's question puzzled Connie Kriefall. In an intensive care ward a few

steps from where the young mother stood, doctors were struggling to save her

only daughter, a 3-year-old with sapphire eyes and a mysterious disease.

a tummy ache to a deathly sick child with advanced organ failure. Her

kidneys had quit. Her heart was faltering. And now a nurse was asking: Could

this be E. coli?
