[Uremic-hemolytic syndrome: clinical and pathological observations of a case (author's transl)]

A case of uremic hemolytic syndrome observed in a 20 months old child has been investigated from the clinical and pathological point of view. All specific clinical manifestations of the syndrome were present as well as the pathognomic pathological finding of a renal trombotic microangiopathy. In addition a generalized lymphoadenopathy likely related to a previous vaccination, was also found. The possible role of such an immune reaction in the pathogenesis of the syndrome in the present case is discussed.
