  • Title: Recurrent attacks of hemolytic uremic syndrome.
    Author: Anagnou NP, Papanicolaou N, Fessas P.
    Journal: Haematologia (Budap); 1991; 24(2):101-5. PubMed ID: 1816053.
    Abstract:
    In 1955 Gasser and his co-workers were the first to describe the so-called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS); since then, the number of reports has steadily increased. Some authors consider HUS as a unique syndrome, while others suggest that HUS is both heterogenic and heterogeneous. It is generally emphasized that HUS never recurs. However, this view should be reconsidered due to the numerous reports on a recurrent form of HUS, which is beginning to be recognized as an important subset or variant of this syndrome. This report describes a case, where three similar recurrent episodes of hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and uremia had occurred during the past eight years.
