title: [Streptococcus pneumoniae purulent pleurisy and hemolytic uremic syndrome. A case report].
abstract: A 22-month-old infant developed purulent pleurisy caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae and a hemolytic uremic syndrome. The diagnosis was suggested by the classical triad: hemolytic anemia, renal failure and thrombocytemia confirmed by renal biopsy which demonstrated extensive cortical necrosis. Renal involvement was severe, justifying an indication for renal transplantation.
