Abstract
Haemolytic-uraemic syndrome (HUS) is the most frequent cause of acute renal failure in children. Geographical surveys have demonstrated occurrence of HUS in both an epidemic and endemic manner (1) and familial occurrences have been reported (2). The clinical and histopathologi= cal features of HUS are well-known,while aetiology and physiopathology are not completely understood. The long-term evolution of renal function in children is incompletely documented. The recognition that HUS is not a conseq uence of a single clinico-pathologic entity may explain the conflicting results regarding prognosis.
