Haemolytic uraemic syndrome associated with Salmonella dysentery.

Abstract

Haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) has been described in association with a number of microbial agents that include Shigella species, Campylobacter jejuni, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, Salmonella typhi and recently verotoxin producing enterohemorrhagic E. coli (1-3). Its association with non-typhoidal salmonella infections has not been reported, which prompts this communication.
