PARIS (AP) - Authorities have recorded France's first death from the European E. coli outbreak.
Health officials in Bordeaux said the 78-year-old woman died early Saturday morning.
She had been hospitalized in Bordeaux since June 24 with hemolytic uremic syndrome _ the rare kidney condition that the most seriously ill victims of the outbreak are suffering from.
