Hemolytic uremic syndrome and Clostridium difficile colitis.
Hemolytic uremic syndrome and Clostridium difficile colitis.
- 2012
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) can be associated with different infectious etiologies, but the relationship between pseudomembranous colitis and HUS was first described in the 1970s in some childhood patients. There is very limited published literature on Clostridium difficile-associated HUS. We report a case of C. difficile-related HUS in an adult patient and provide a review of the literature.
