[Recurrent hemolytic uremic syndrome (author's transl)].

Abstract

A hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) reoccurred 13 months after the first episode in an 8 years old girl. Both episodes were treated by peritoneal dialysis. They had all signs of HUS: renal failure, severe anemia with fragmented erythrocytes and thrombocytopenia. Interesting was the transient thrombocytosis following the primary thrombocytopenia. 2.5 years since the second episode the girl is healthy with intact renal functions.
