Overview
The major cause of HUS in childhood is infection with verocytotoxin (shiga-like toxin)-producing bacteria, usually enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (VTEC/STEC),and in some tropical regions Shigella dysenteriae type I. Verocytotoxin-producing Citrobacter freundii, has also been reported.8 In America and the UK most cases are associated with E. coli serotype O157:H7,9–12 while other serotypes such as O26, O111, O103, and O145 are increasingly reported in Europe and elsewhere.13–15 The epidemiology has been extensively studied. Patients are usually pre-school children.16–18 VTEC strains produce various toxins, the major ones being verocytotoxin-1 (Stx1) and verocytotoxin-2 (Stx2). Verocytotoxin-1 differs by one amino acid from Shiga toxin produced by Shigella dysenteriae type 1. Verocytotoxin-2 has multiple variants that are closely related to each other, but have 55–60% homology to verocytotoxin1. HUS is mostly caused by verocytotoxin-2-producing strains.HUS can occur in the course of systemic diseases or physiopathological conditions such as pregnancy, after transplantation or after drug assumption
Causes
Life-threatening Causes
- Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. There are no life-threatening causes of disease name, however complications resulting from untreated disease name is common.
- Life-threatening causes of [symptom/manifestation] include [cause1], [cause2], and [cause3].
- [Cause] is a life-threatening cause of [disease].
Common Causes
Common causes of HUS may include:[1][2][3][4]
- E. coli (70%)- Shiga-Toxin producing E.Coli/ Shigella infection
- Genetic mutations of complement genes/ Complement Factor abnormalities
Less Common Causes
Less common causes of HUS include [5][6][7]
- Pneumococcal infection (commonly pneumonia, empyema, meningitis, and less commonly pericarditis, peritonitis, otitis media and bacteremia
- Pregnancy
- Autoimmune disease for example SLE, Antiphospholipid Syndrome
- Drug associated
- Antineoplastic, immunosuppressive and anti platelet
- Organ Transplantation
- Human immunodeficiency viral infection such as HIV/AIDS
