title: [The surgical form of the hemolytic-uremic syndrome].
abstract: The hemolytic-uremic syndrome consist of micro-angiopathic hemolytic anemia, acute renal failure, and thrombocytopenia following a prodromal illness of gastroenteritis. The syndrome can present in dramatic fashion with severe abdominal pain and signs of peritonitis suggesting an acute surgical crisis. In some cases, laparotomy is necessary, and we report a case with colectomy.
