Hemolytic uremic syndrome due to shiga-like toxin producing Escherichia coli 048:H21 in South Australia.
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) other than serotypes O157:H7 are increasingly recognized in association with hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) (1) and have been reported in Australia (2). While detecting strains of O157:H7 has become easier over the years, identifying the expanding number of other serotypes of EHEC also associated with HUS, with other conditions, and with healthy domest...
متن کاملShiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli hemolytic uremic syndrome
Amira PECO-ANTIĆ Dr Nike Miljanića 5 11000 Belgrade Serbia [email protected] SUMMARY The hemolytic–uremic syndrome (HUS) is characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute kidney injury (AKI). The major cause of HUS in childhood (>90%) is infection with verocytotoxin (Shiga-like toxin – “Stx”)-producing bacteria, usually enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli ...
متن کاملHemolytic uremic syndrome with mild renal involvement due to Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O145 strain.
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a disorder characterized by the presence of the classic triad: microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and acute renal injury. HUS without acute renal failure can be confused with other hematologic diseases. An infantile HUS caused by a Shiga-toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O145 strain carrying genotype stx2, ehxA, eae subtype β1 is herein ...
متن کاملFirst Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli Isolate from a Patient with Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome, Brazil
To the Editor: Infection by Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), particularly strains of serotype O157:H7, can cause sporadic cases and outbreaks of diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis (HC), and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) (1). Some other serotypes (e.g., O26:H11, O111:H8, O111:NM, and O113:H21) share a similar pathogenic potential. STEC are distributed worldwide, but most of the ...
متن کاملShiga Toxin–Producing Escherichia coli Infections Associated with Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome, Italy, 1988–2000
The mean annual incidence of hemolytic uremic syndrome in persons </=15 years of age in Italy from 1988 to 2000 was 0.28 per 100,000 population. Laboratory investigations showed that Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infection occurred in 73.1% of patients. STEC O157 was the most common serotype, but a considerable number of cases were from infections by non-O157 STEC.
