Severe pregnancy-associated atypical hemolytic uremia syndrome in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic: a novel survival case report.

BMC Pregnancy Childbirth

January 2025

Department of Intensive Care Medicine, Army Medical Center of PLA, No. 10 Changjiang Road, Yuzhong District, Chongqing, 400010, People's Republic of China.

Early recognition of aHUS is critical for effective treatment and improved prognosis.
