Haemolytic–uraemic syndrome with bacteraemia caused by a new hybrid Escherichia coli pathotype
We describe a new atypical Shiga-toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) responsible for a severe episode of haemolytic-uraemic syndrome in an adult with a relapse associated with bacteraemia. This STECs train of serotype O80:H2 harboured stx2c and stx2d gene subtypes, the rare eae ξ variant and a ColV plasmid with a conserved virulence plasmidic region involved in virulence of human and avian ...
متن کاملAtypical Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome Associated with a Hybrid Complement Gene
BACKGROUND Sequence analysis of the regulators of complement activation (RCA) cluster of genes at chromosome position 1q32 shows evidence of several large genomic duplications. These duplications have resulted in a high degree of sequence identity between the gene for factor H (CFH) and the genes for the five factor H-related proteins (CFHL1-5; aliases CFHR1-5). CFH mutations have been describe...
متن کاملHaemolytic uraemic syndrome associated with a family cluster of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli.
In early 1995 an outbreak of 23 cases of haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) occurred in children (ranging from four months to 12 years of age) in South Australia.1 Twenty of the cases were managed in a tertiary paediatric hospital in Adelaide, where 18 (90%) required dialysis.2 A 4-year-old died and 12 months after discharge 5 of the surviving children still had significantly impaired renal func...
متن کاملOutbreak of haemolytic uraemic syndrome in Norway caused by stx2-positive Escherichia coli O103:H25 traced to cured mutton sausages
BACKGROUND On 20-21 February 2006, six cases of diarrhoea-associated haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) were reported by paediatricians to the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. We initiated an investigation to identify the etiologic agent and determine the source of the outbreak in order to implement control measures. METHODS A case was defined as a child with diarrhoea-associated HUS or a...
متن کاملOutbreak of Escherichia coli O104:H4 haemolytic uraemic syndrome in France: outcome with eculizumab
BACKGROUND An outbreak of haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) due to Shiga toxin-secreting Escherichia coli (STEC) O104:H4 from contaminated fenugreek sprouts occurred in June 2011 near Bordeaux, France. In the context of this outbreak, all patients were treated with the monoclonal anti-C5 antibody, eculizumab. METHODS The diagnosis of HUS was made based on haemolytic anaemia, low platelet coun...
