title: [Hemolytic uremic syndrome with an atypical presentation].
abstract: The hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is rare and of guarded prognosis in adults. It expresses a renal thrombotic microangiopathy. We report the case of a young patient whose clinical presentation and exploration make a diagnosis of HUS likely. The atypical presentation provides an opportunity not only to discuss all diagnostic elements based on recent pathophysiological hypotheses, but also to highlight recommendations for the management of this severe disease.
