Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome [PDF]

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2011
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is defined by the triad of mechanical hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and renal impairment. Atypical HUS (aHUS) defines non Shiga-toxin-HUS and even if some authors include secondary aHUS due to Streptococcus pneumoniae

Hemolytic uremic syndrome

Revista de Nefrología, Diálisis y Trasplante, 2014
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a thrombotic microangiopathy defined by thrombocytopenia, nonimmune microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, and acute renal failure. The most frequent form is associated with infections by Shiga-like toxin-producing bacteria (STEC-HUS).

The hemolytic uremic syndrome

Kidney International, 1995
HUS is the most common cause of acute renal failure in infants and young children and follows a diarrheal prodrome about 90% of the time. Persuasive evidence shows that virtually all of postdiarrheal cases are caused by EHEC infections, and that the great majority of cases in the United States are caused by the EHEC serotype O157:H7.

Attack of the clones: whole genome-based characterization of two closely related enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O26 epidemic lineages

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O26:H11/H−, the most common non-O157 serotype causing hemolytic uremic syndrome worldwide, are evolutionarily highly dynamic with new pathogenic clones emerging rapidly.
