title: [Dilated cardiomyopathy during post-partum hemolytic and uremic syndrome (HUS)].
abstract: A 24-year-old woman presented a severe HUS followed 3 months later by a cardiac failure diagnosed echographically as a dilated cardiomyopathy. The patient was hemodialysed and successfully transplanted. Later course of dilated cardiomyopathy was favourable. Review of literature confirms the rare and severe nature of cardiac lesions occurring in the course of HUS. We suggest a related pathophysiology concerning these two entities.
