T and Tk transformation in hemolytic uremic syndromes.
In two cases of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) the bacterial pathogenesis of the disease could be elucidated by lectin red cell agglutination tests. The possible role of anti-T and anti-Tk antibodies is discussed. Transfusions of fresh plasma had no adverse effects. The fatal outcome in one case was caused by disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).
