Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the epidemiology of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) in children, particularly in a densely populated area of northern Italy, covering a 10-year period from 2003 to 2012.
- It reports a mean annual incidence of HUS at 6.3 cases per million children under 18, with higher rates (15.7/million) in children under 5 years old, and finding that atypical HUS accounts for about 11.9% of cases.
- The study emphasizes the importance of understanding HUS for public health planning and highlights its increasing incidence, which poses a financial burden on healthcare systems.
The authors report on a case of a 7-days old girls, with Nonne-Milroy syndrome (type I hereditary lynphedema). The clinical picture of this disease is severe but the outcome is usually good. Its etiology, differential diagnosis, therapy and follow-up are discussed.
