Abstract Clinical History.—This 6-month-old male infant was seen with a generalized convulsion, mild cough, and epistaxis. Perinatal and past history were unremarkable. He was one of a family of eight children, all of whom were well. Physical Examination.—The infant was alert and well nourished, but pale, with mild fever (37.4 C). Mild bronchiolitis/bronchopneumonia was confirmed roentgenographically. Cerebrospinal fluid examination was normal. Twenty-four hours later, he had another generalized convulsion. Further investigations revealed renal failure, with a BUN level of 100 mg/100 ml, metabolic acidosis, hyponatremia, and hypocalcemia. The hemoglobin level was 5.5 gm/100 ml; WBC, platelet, and reticulocyte counts were normal. A blood smear showed schistocytes and burr cells. Urine examination showed 1+ proteinuria, 3+ glycosuria, and a few granular casts, but no cellular elements or crystals. Treatment for renal failure, peritoneal dialysis, and blood transfusion resulted in improvement in his condition, but severe oligoanuria persisted. References 1.
