Historical Perspective
Discovery
- In 1955, Gasser et al first described hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS).[1]
- In 1983, Karmali et al discovered the association between Escherichia coli, Shiga-toxin-producing bacteria, and the development of HUS.[2]
Outbreaks
There have been several outbreaks of HUS, which are summarized below:
- In Febryary 2006, HUS outbreak in Norway.[3]
- 2011 EHEC/HUS outbreak in Germany.[4]
- 2011 HUS outbreak nationwide in Norway.[5]
- In June 2011, HUS outbreak from Shiga toxin-secreting Escherichia coli (STEC) O104:H4 from contaminated fenugreek sprouts occurred near Bordeaux, France.[6]
- In December 2016, HUS outbreak in Germany.[7]
