[Atypic hemolytic uremic syndrome taken for Goodpasture's syndrome: A case report].

We report the case of a patient suffering from atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome with inaugural intra-alveolar hemorrhage. Clinical features and detection of circulating anti-glomerular basal membrane antibodies first raise the possibility of a Goodpasture syndrome. Renal biopsy allows to correct the diagnosis.

[TTP or HUS? About a case revealing an IgA nephropathy].

Thrombotic microangiopathy includes a set of conditions characterized by the association of mechanical hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and organ failure which accurate diagnosis is sometimes difficult. We report the case of a patient who presented a thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) due to an atypical hemolytic and uremic syndrome (HUS) associated with an immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy with a favorable outcome under corticosteroid.

Acute renal infarction: a case series.

Background And Objectives: Renal infarction is an arterial vascular event that may cause irreversible damage to kidney tissues. This study describes the clinical characteristics of patients with renal infarction according to underlying mechanism of vascular injury.

Design, Setting, Participants, & Measurements: This study retrospectively identified 94 patients with renal infarction diagnosed between 1989 and 2011 with the aim of highlighting potential correlations between demographic, clinical, and biologic characteristics and the etiology of renal infarction.

[Disseminated Trichosporon asahii infection].

The present report describes a case of disseminated Trichosporon asahii infection. Trichosporon species has emerged as opportunistic infectious yeast in immunocompromised patients and is resistant to echinocandins. These antifungal drugs are not recommended for trichosporonosis treatment and yeast species identification be attempted for all clinical isolates, particularly with respect to the choice of antifungal therapy for specific Trichosporon species.
