ABSTRACT
The hemolytic uremic syndrome(HUS), a heterogenous group of disorders characterized by micorangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and azotemia, is the most frequent cause of acute renal failure in children. The association of the HUS with E. coli O157:H7 has been well-described, but the other intestinal infection have been relatively less reported to date. We report a 18-month-old boy presenting with typical clinical characteristics of HUS associated with amoebic dysentery with a brief review of literatures.
Key words: Hemolytic uremic syndrome | Amoebic dysentery
