Pneumococcal pneumonia with empyema and hemolytic uremic syndrome in children: report of three cases.
Streptococcus pneumoniae is an uncommon etiological organism in children with hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Patients with S. pneumoniae-associated HUS commonly have a pneumonia or meningitis. Historically, S. pneumoniae-associated HUS usually has a poor clinical outcome. We report 3 pediatric cases of pneumococcal pneumonia-induced HUS.

متن کاملAtypical hemolytic uremic syndrome
Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure. Most cases of aHUS are caused by uncontrolled complement activation due to genetic mutations in the alternative pathway of complement. More recently, mutations in the gene of coagulation system have also been identified in...
