UTILISATION DE MATIERES MODIFIEES A FIBRES CREUSES POUR L'ELIMINATION D'EXOTOXINES PRODUITES PAR ESCHERICHIA COLI A PARTIR DE LIQUIDES, DE PREFERENCE A PARTIR DU SANG ET DU PLASMA, AINSI QUE LEUR UTILISATION POUR LE TRAITEMENT DE MALADIES CONCOMITANTES
The present invention relates to chemically modified hollow fiber materials for extracorporeally removing exotoxins produced by pathogenic Escherichia coli from protein containing liquids, particularly from blood or plasma, as well as the use in treating patients suffering from diseases which, for example, are caused by enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli bacteria (EHEC infections) or other pathogenic Escherichia coli like enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) or enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC).
