Abstract |
The hemolytic uremic syndrome is a clinical state characterized by uremia, thrombocytopenia and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. Since the first description of this illness by Gasser in 1955, it has been recognized with increasing frequency. Recently, we have experienced 2 cases of severe hemolytic uremic syndrome occurring in boys in 5 and 6 years of age. Diagnosis was established by typical clinical aiid laboratory findings, and in one case, percutaneous renal biopsy was done.
