Ocular involvement in atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome.
Archivos de la Sociedad Española de Oftalmología 2017 December
CASE REPORT: The case is presented of a young man with an atypical haemolytic-uraemic syndrome (aHUS), complicated with bilateral serous retinal detachment, cotton wool spots, and a branch artery occlusion. Treatment with plasmapheresis, haemodialysis and systemic eculizumab led to the blood and urine parameters returning to normal, as well as resolution of the retinal anomalies. Genetic analysis show both mutations in complement factor H and C3.
DISCUSSION: Haemolytic-uraemic syndrome (HUS) is a thrombotic microangiopathy characterised by microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure. Atypical HUS is caused by genetic mutation of complement system. Ocular involvement is an unusual manifestation of this rare syndrome.
