Abstract

Shiga toxin producing E. coli (STEC) may cause severe hemorrhagic colitis followed by hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). In Korea, there had been a few case reports of HUS by STEC, mostly due to O157 serotype. The reports of HUS caused by STEC non-O157 serotype were rare. We report a sporadic case of HUS associated with hemorrhagic colitis. A 51-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital due to intractable abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea. Three days after admission, azotemia and microangiopathic hemolysis developed. E. coli, serotype O111 was identified. Conservative management with plasmapheresis resulted in a complete recovery.
