Abstrakt Abstrakt Hemolytic uremic syndrome surveillance to monitor trends in infection with Escherichia coli O 157 and non-O 157 EHEC Allerberger F. , B.Soelder, P.Koenig National EHEC Reference Laboratory (Bundesst. bakt.-serol. Untersuchungsanstalt), Dept. of Pediatrics, Dept. of Internal Medicine, University Innsbruck As the public health importance of E. coli O 157 has become clear, Austria, like many other states, attempted to improve surveillance by mandating reporting of EHEC O 157 infections (April 1996). Both heightened clinical awareness and changes in laboratory stool screening practices have dramatically improved recognition of O 157 infections. But changing rates of ascertainment of these infections means, that O 157-based surveillance systems can not be able to show trends in incidence. The second fundamental problem is that surveillance for O 157 infections cannot detect trends in non - O 157 EHEC infections. Non - O 157 EHEC are not likely to be detected by plating stool specimens on sorbitol - Mac Conkey agar, the method most commonly used to screen for O 157. To address these two fundamental problems, a hospital - based system for identification of HUS cases was established in Austria in 1994. HUS complicates approximately 5 % to 10 % of O 157 infections and an unknown percentage of non-O 157 infections. At the beginning of each year, pediatric wards of hospitals and nephrology wards performing hemodialysis are approached by mail and asked to report details on all HUS cases seen in the previous year. Because HUS is a distinctive and serious illness, its diagnosis is not likely to be affected by the vagaries of clinical and laboratory practices that can make interpreting O 157 isolation data difficult; ascertainment should likely be fairly complete.

Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is characterized by destruction of red blood cells, damage to the lining of blood vessel walls, and, in severe cases, kidney failure. Most cases of HUS occur after an infection in the digestive system caused by the E. coli bacterium found on contaminated food like meat, dairy products, and juice. The first stages of HUS frequently present with gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, and bloody diarrhea. This stage lasts from 1 to 15 days. Recovery from this acute colitic phase is the rule. However, more severe problems in the bowel and colon may develop in some cases. (The most vulnerable and severely stricken of children with HUS can die during the first acute stage of the diseasebetween 5 percent and 10 percent.) For most children with HUS, the vomiting and diarrhea stop after 2 or 3 days. Even when the gastroenteritis has stopped, the child does not recover full health, remaining pale, tired, and irritable. The bacteria originally lodged in the digestive system make toxins that enter the bloodstream, and these toxins destroy red blood cells. Small, unexplained bruises or small clot-sized hemorrhages visible in the mucosal lining of the mouth may occur because the toxins also destroy the platelets, cells that normally contribute to the clotting system.

Additional cases were reported from other Western US states including California and Nevada. Outbreak Reservoir: Infected cattle. Incubation Period: 3 days (median). Case Demographics: Median age of Washington patients was 8 years (range 4 months to 88 years) and 75% of patients were younger than 18 years of age. Forty-nine percent of cases were female. Additional Clinical Notes: Thirty-one percent of patients in Washington were hospitalized and 3 patients in Washington State died from complications of HUS. Patients who developed HUS were younger than patients who did not develop HUS and 60% of HUS patients were female. References: Tuttle J, Gomez T, Doyle MP, Wells JG, Zhao T, Tauxe RV, Griffin PM.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE Octo ber 2002, Volume 7, Number 8: Hemolytic uremic syndrome: Events of the past decade PN McLaine This article describes the birth of the Canadian Pediatric Kidney Disease Research Centre (CPKDRC) in 1985 and the activities that have transpired as a result of collaborative research at paediatric centres across Canada. These include the National Retrospective Study of Childhood Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS), National Prospective Study of Risk Factors for Developing Escherichia coli O157:H7 Infection, and Intervention Studies for the Prevention of HUS. A look to the future describes possible studies to determine potential factors (surrogate markers) to identify children who are at risk for developing HUS following verotoxin-producing E coli gastroenteritis, other intervention studies and a more accurate understanding of permanent renal insufficiency in children who have had HUS.

English - Adult English - Pediatric Spanish - Adult Spanish - Pediatric Genitourinary and Kidney Disorders Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome What is hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS)? HUS is a rare condition that can lead to kidney failure in children. Kidney failure develops as a result of destruction of the small, functional structures and vessels inside the kidney. HUS is a serious illness and potentially fatal. What causes hemolytic uremic syndrome? HUS is more common during the summer months and may occur in outbreaks. Outbreaks have been reported in daycare centers, water parks, and fast food restaurants as a result of inadequately cooked hamburger meat. HUS is most common in younger children between 6 months and 4 years, but can occur at any age. HUS has several known causes and some unknown causes. Typically in children, HUS develops after an infection with the E. coli bacterium. E. coli may be found in contaminated food such as dairy products and meat. HUS can also develop as a result of taking certain medications, or may result from a cancer present in the body, although these causes are less common. In less than 5 percent of HUS cases, the disorder is inherited by a dominant gene (a gene passed from parent to child with a 50/50 risk) or recessive gene (each parent carries one copy of the gene and the child inherits both copies; the chance is 25 percent with each pregnancy).

Both HUS and TTP are distinguished by blood clots within the capillaries and arterioles of many organs. Such clotting is associated with hemolytic anemia (low red blood cell count due to cell rupture) and low numbers of platelets (cell-like bodies responsible for blood coagulation). Hemolytic anemia results from the fragmentation of the red blood cells when they pass through areas of thrombi (masses or clots) or turbulence in the circulation. Such forces shear the cells in half, producing cell remnants that appear as helmets and other odd shapes when viewed under a microscope. In fact, the diagnosis of HUS-TTP is aided by microscopic examination of the blood for sheared red blood cells.
