RESUMEN
El síndrome hemolítico urémico es una afección que se caracteriza por anemia hemolítica microangiopática, trombocitopenia e insuficiencia renal aguda. En su forma clásica está asociado a diarrea y tiene un buen pronóstico. Cuando tiene como base una enfermedad neumocócica invasiva, tiene una mortalidad del 25 % y la mitad de los casos que sobreviven evolucionan a una enfermedad renal terminal. Se presenta el caso un niño de 17 meses con síndrome hemolítico urémico secundario a una neumonía con empiema, que después de 10 días en anuria y sometido a diálisis peritoneal intensiva, logró una función renal normal. El éxito en el tratamiento, unido a que no se encontaron casos similares publicados en la provincia, motivó la realización de este trabajo.
ABSTRACT
Hemolytic uremic syndrome is a condition characterized by hemolytic microangiopathic anemia, thrombocytopenia and acute renal failure. In its classic form it is associated with diarrhea and it has a good prognosis. When there is an invasive pneumococcal disease as underlying condition, it has a mortality rate of 25%, and half of the surviving cases develop end-stage renal disease (ESRD). We present the case of a 17-month-old child with hemolytic uremic syndrome secondary to pneumonia with empyema, who after being anuric and in intensive peritoneal dialysis for 10 days achieved normal renal function. His successful treatment, along with the fact that there are no similar cases published in our province, encouraged us to carry out this work.
