The Risk of the Hemolytic–Uremic Syndrome after Antibiotic Treatment of Escherichia coli O157:H7 Infections
TL;DR: In this paper, a prospective cohort study of 71 children younger than 10 years of age who had diarrhea caused by E. coli O157:H7 was conducted to assess whether antibiotic treatment in these children affects the risk of the hemolytic-uremic syndrome and to assess the influence of confounding factors on this outcome.

TL;DR: The culture-positive group was more likely to have had bloody diarrhea and fecal leukocytes and to have received transfusions than the culture-negative group but was otherwise similar in clinical characteristics.

TL;DR: Assessment of whether pre-HUS interventions and events, especially the volume and sodium content of intravenous fluids administered early in illness, affect the risk for developing oligoanuric HUS after E coli O157:H7 infections found that these determinations probably reflect later points of these initial determinations.

TL;DR: Thrombin generation (probably due to accelerated thrombogenesis and inhibition of fibrinolysis precede renal injury and may be the cause of such injury in the hemolytic-uremic syndrome.
