The histopathology of the hemolytic uremic syndrome associated with verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli infections
SE Richardson, MA Karmali, LE Becker, CR Smith - Human pathology, 1988 - Elsevier
Verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC) infection was present in three cases of
hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), two fatal and one non-fatal, in which detailed
histopathologic investigations were conducted. Two patients had a prodrome of bloody
diarrhea, one of whom required a hemicolectomy for severe bleeding. The renal
histopathology was characterized primarily by glomerular thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA)
with> 95% of glomeruli showing changes of capillary wall thickening, endothelial cell …
