Abstract

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is associated with significant mortality and morbidity, including acute renal injury, anemia and thrombocytopenia. Rare cases of aHUS in a child with acute leukemia before diagnosis or during chemotherapy have been reported. We report a pediatric case of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia complicated by pancreatitis with concomitant aHUS following induction chemotherapy.
