No new cases have been reported, Cox said.nbsp; A second juvenile was brought into the emergency room with symptoms of diarrhea but was released and is doing very well at home, Cox said. Stool test results on the second child are pending and there is no indication so far the second minor has E. coli infection, Cox said./pimg src="http://feeds.lexblog.com/~r/MarlerBlog/~4/490336233" height="1" width="1"/
