Overview
HUS can occur in the course of systemic diseases or physiopathological conditions such as pregnancy, after transplantation or after drug assumption. 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*
Causes
Life-threatening Causes

- Life-threatening causes of [symptom/manifestation] include [cause1], [cause2], and [cause3].
- [Cause] is a life-threatening cause of [disease].
Common Causes
Common causes of [disease name] may include:[1][2][3][4]
- E. coli (70%)
- [Cause2]
- [Cause3]
OR
