Does levofloxacin induce hemolytic uremic syndrome in patients infected with verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli O157 infections?
Fifteen Japanese colitis patients, aged above 16 years old, infected with verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli O157 (VTEC O157) were divided into 2 treatment groups. Of the 15 patients, 6 (mean ± SD, 41.3 ± 19.0 years old) were treated with levofloxacin (LVFX), while the remaining 9 patients (32.0 ± 10.0 years old) were not treated with any antimicrobial agents. All patients complained of ab...
متن کاملHemolytic Uremic Syndrome Risk and Escherichia coli O157:H7
We reviewed medical records of 238 hospitalized patients with Escherichia coli O157:H7 diarrhea to identify risk factors for progression to diarrhea-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Data indicated that young age, long duration of diarrhea, elevated leukocyte count, and proteinuria were associated with HUS.

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 کاملAcute encephalopathy associated with hemolytic uremic syndrome caused by Escherichia coli O157: H7 and rotavirus infection.
We reported a case of a 22-months child with hemolytic uremic syndrome associated with encephalopathy. As the cause of this case, the involvements of verotoxin 1 and 2 caused by O157: the H7 strain of the enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli and rotavirus were presumed. We administered brain hypothermic therapy and steroid pulse therapy in the intensive care unit, but we were not able to save his...
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.
