Abstract
#Haemolytic-uremic syndrome is a rare but serious condition, which is
featured by the triad of: acute renal failure, #microangiopathic
haemolytic anemia and #thrombocytopenia associating with viral or
bacterial etc. etiologies. However, we present an unprovoked case of HUS
in a 2-year-old male case.
#Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) is a rare life-threatening disorder. It
is recognized by hemolysis, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure.
Organs comprising the brain, intestines, pancreas, heart, and lungs
might be influenced and damaged during the condition, [1-4]. It is
frequently precipitated by gastroenteritis but provoked by bacterial or
viral infection especially in pediatric cases. An etiological review of
previous reported cases with HUS will be given in the following as well
[3-5]. Even if we dedicated attention on HUS risk related with
bacterial/viral infections, we identified a 2-year-old male baby
compatible with HUS features, most probably without any potential known
endo/exogenous triggers whose interesting report will be narrated as
below.We are reporting the case of a 2-year-old male #Caucasian baby who was
hospitalized with 8 days history acute severe watery diarrhea gradually
reduced into a bloody low-volume diarrhea, accompanied with vomiting,
intermittent fever and weakened general condition but no coriza
symptoms; unresponsive to home-administered medication-ibuprofen,
acetaminophen except for fever. He was born from a consanguineous
marriage with no significant past medical history. At the time of
admission, his physical examination revealed pale skin, dry lips,
decreased skin turgor, no #pharyngeal hyperemia, no budging fontanel,
respiratory rate of 28 breaths per minute, blood pressure (BP): 67 /
50mmHg, heart rate (HR) of 122 beats per minute (bpm), food refusal, and
bloody stools.
