title: Shigella sonneiand hemolytic uremic syndrome: A case report and literature review.
abstract: Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a well-described process that is known to cause severe renal dysfunction, thrombocytopenia, and anemia. HUS is typically associated with toxins (shiga-like and shigella toxin) found in strains ofE. coliandShigellaspp [1], [2], [3]. We present a case of a 27 year-old man with jaundice, thrombocytopenia, and renal dysfunction who was found to have HUS in the setting ofShigella sonneiinfection. Outside of developing countries, cases of HUS related toS. sonneiare largely unreported.
