EhecDoctors in Halland in western Sweden are unable to concrete prognosis for the woman who is reported to be suffering from kidney problems and is being treated with a dialysis and respirator.
"How long the dialysis treatment will take is difficult to say. It could be a couple of days, a couple of weeks or become a chronic disease," said doctor Mats Erntell.
The Local reported earlier on Monday that six more Swedes have been infected by the EHEC bacteria, bringing the total number of cases in Sweden to 39.
The Swedish Institute for Communicable Disease Control (Smitskyddsinstitutet – SMI) believes that all cases of the diseases reported so far in Sweden originated in Germany and there are no indications thus far that the disease is spreading within Sweden.
Nevertheless, the agency said in a statement on Sunday that the number of reported cases could very well increase in the coming days.
Current cases have been reported across the country, from Scene in the south to in the north.
