Abstract:
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is not a rare disease. In the tropics with high incidence of diarrhea diseases and their subsequent complications HUS can easily be missed or overlooked. We present a case of HUS highlighting its multi systemic presentation and its management in a resource poor setting where a acute dialysis and plasma exchange are limited in availability and cost.
