BACKGROUND Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare disease characterized by hemolysis, thrombocytopenia, and renal dysfunction. It is a disease related to genetic mutations in the alternative complement pathway and has a distinct pathophysiology but is difficult to differentiate from other thrombotic microangiopathies. CASE REPORT We present a case of a 59-year-old female patient ...

Foodborne pathogens cause >9 million illnesses annually. Food safety efforts address the entire food chain, but an essential strategy for preventing foodborne disease is educating consumers and food preparers. To better understand the epidemiology of foodborne disease and to direct prevention efforts, we examined incidence of Salmonella infection, Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli infectio...

Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS) is a life-threatening condition associated with the development of thrombotic occlusion microvasculature vessels, mortality rate about 50%. The pathogenesis CAPS based on cellular activation, complement system induction, cytokine stimulation, inhibition anticoagulant factors and fibrinolysis, which leads to progressive microangiopathy, disseminated ...
