Abstract

A female child aged 7 months was admitted because of high fever, vomiting and stuporous conciousness and revealed to have hemolytic uremic syndrome. Anuria persisted 13 days and required peritoneal dialysis 4 times a day during the anuric period. Her kidney function recovered somewhat after dialysis but neurologic complications of marked hydrocephalus and brain atrophy remained.
