title: Fatal haemolytic uraemic syndrome in an AIDS patient with disseminated adenovirus and cytomegalovirus co-infection.
abstract: We describe a fatal case of haemolytic uraemic syndrome in a young woman with AIDS, and disseminated adenovirus (ADV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) co-infection. We hypothesize that ADV/CMV co-infection may have a causative role in this clinical picture.
