Data were analysed from the Global Enteric Multicenter Study examining children &lt;5 years old seeking care for moderate-to-severe diarrhoea (MSD) in Kenya. Stool specimens were tested for enteric pathogens, including by multiplex polymerase chain reaction for gene targets of tEPEC. Demographic, clinical and anthropometric data were collected at enrolment and ~60-days later; multivariable logistic regressions were constructed. Of 1778 MSD cases enrolled from 2008 to 2012, 135 (7.6%) children tested positive for tEPEC. In a case-to-case comparison among MSD cases, tEPEC was independently associated with presentation at enrolment with a loss of skin turgor (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 2.08, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.37\u20133.17), and convulsions (aOR 2.83, 95% CI 1.12\u20137.14). At follow-up, infants with tEPEC compared to those without were associated with being underweight (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.3\u20133.6) and wasted (OR 2.5, 95% CI 1.3\u20134.6). Among MSD cases, tEPEC was associated with mortality (aOR 2.85, 95% CI 1.47\u20135.55). This study suggests that tEPEC contributes to morbidity and mortality in children. Interventions aimed at defining and reducing the burden of tEPEC and its sequelae should be urgently investigated, prioritised and implemented.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0950268820002794","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,16]],"date-time":"2020-11-16T08:05:15Z","timestamp":1605513915000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Factors associated with typical enteropathogenic<i>Escherichia coli<\/i>infection among children &lt;5 years old with moderate-to-severe diarrhoea in rural western Kenya, 2008\u20132012"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"148","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7471-6317","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"K.","family":"Fagerli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Omore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.
