[Pneumococcal infections in children: hemolytic-uremic syndrome].
By the example of a case-report diagnostic and therapeutic features of the haemolytic-uraemic syndrome are discussed within the frame of infections by pneumococci. In case of infections by pneumococci but also of those ones caused by other bacteria or viruses neuraminidase may be set free, that on its part may lead to an enzyme-induced haemolysis and in some cases also to a damage of other cell systems. In case of an active share of the kidney a haemolytic-uraemic syndrome may be the consequence.
