The majority of HUS cases occur after infectious diarrhea, and most of these cases are associated with Escherichia coli O157:H7 infection.1 2 However, atypical cases of HUS also occur in the absence of infectious diarrhea, although less commonly.3 Among 117 children <18 years of age identified with HUS in the state of Minnesota from 1979 through 1988, 16 patients had no preceding diarrheal illness, and 6 had a respiratory illness prodrome.4 Invasive infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae has rarely been associated with atypical HUS cases.5-14 However, there are no published data on the prevalence of invasive pneumococcal infections among patients with HUS or on the prevalence of HUS cases associated with invasive S pneumoniae infection. We report 7 cases of S pneumoniae... You do not currently have access to this content.
