Mother to Child Transmission of Infectious Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome: An Intriguing Case | Asian Jou

Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is one of the most prevalent causes of acute renal failure in children, however it occurs in infants rather rarely. Microangiopathic hemolytic anaemia, non-immune thrombocytopenia, and renal failure make up the trio. The majority of atypical occurrences of HUS in newborns are caused by anomalies in the complement system or cobalamin C deficiencies. Infection-related HUS in infants, on the other hand, has been recorded seldom. The presence of diarrhoea is not required for infection-related HUS, such as that caused by Shiga toxin-producing E.coli (STEC), and certain instances linked with urinary tract infection (UTI) have also been reported. We discuss the case of a female baby who contracted HUS after catching it from her mother, who had UTI-related HUS.
