S.YR 2013 T1 Haemolytic uraemic syndrome associated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa sepsis JF Journal of Medical Microbiology, VO 62 IS 11 SP 1760 OP 1762 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/jmm.0.057174-0 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1473-5644, AB Haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) is a recognized complication of infection with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and Shigella dysenteriae type 1. Infections with other micro-organisms, especially Streptococcus pneumoniae, have been cited as causes of HUS. In addition, influenza virus and other viruses may rarely be associated with this syndrome. A 2-year-old girl presented with severe Pseudomonas aeruginosa sepsis with renal failure and ecthyma gangrenosum. Further investigations revealed features of HUS. She was managed with antibiotics and other supportive measures including peritoneal dialysis, and subsequently made a full recovery. A possible role of neuraminidase in the pathogenesis of P. aeruginosa-associated HUS was proposed. This is the first reported case of P. aeruginosa sepsis leading to HUS., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/jmm.0.057174-0
