title: T and Tk transformation in hemolytic uremic syndromes.
abstract: 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).
