  • Title: Haemolytic uraemic syndrome associated with faecal cytotoxin and verotoxin neutralizing antibodies.
    Author: Novillo AA, Voyer LE, Cravioto R, Freire MC, Castaño G, Wainstein R, Binztein N.
    Journal: Pediatr Nephrol; 1988 Jul; 2(3):288-90. PubMed ID: 3153027.
    Abstract:
    Forty-nine patients with a diagnosis of idiopathic haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) were investigated to determine evidence of infection by verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC). Free faecal cytotoxin active on Vero cells (VT) was detected in 15 out of 49 patients (31%). Seroconversion or high titres of VT-neutralizing antibodies were detected in 11 out of 18 patients (61%). The results of the present study suggest an association between HUS and infection by VTEC.
