Abstract
- Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is characterized clinically by classic triad of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and acute renal failure. The illness is uncommon and various agents have been associated with HUS, such as infectious, genetic, environmental and phamacological factor. We experienced a case of hemolytic uremic syndrome in a eighty-year old man with a evidence for recent Epstein-barr virus infection. He developed hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, hypertension and azotemia. His renal dysfunction was recovered by hemodialysis, plasmapheresis, warfarin and dypiridamole. We present this case with a review of the literature.
