Neurologic manifestations of E coli infection–induced hemolytic-uremic syndrome in adults

Abstract: Our findings suggest a toxic-metabolic pathology behind the neurologic impairment instead of multiple infarction due to microthrombosis. Future studies should aim to clarify if early antibiotic therapy or bowel cleansing might help to decrease the rate of neurologic complications in STEC-HUS.

“…Mouse models of EHEC infection or Stx injection reproduce certain aspects of this lesion with platelet deposition in glomeruli (15,16), damaged glomerular capillaries (17), and pronounced tubular damage (7,18). In addition to severe renal damage, 20-50% of patients with HUS develop neurologic manifestations ranging from mild symptoms to coma and stroke and affecting various regions of the brain (19,20).…”
