HAEMOLYTIC URAEMIC SYNDROME (HUS) WITH COVID-19 INFECTION: 2 CASE REPORTS. IS THERE A DIRECT LINK?

摘要

Introduction: Microvascular injury, including thrombotic micro- angiopathy, has been widely reported as a hallmark pathological feature of organ injury in the setting of COVID-19. COVID-19 is also respon- sible for a wide variety of illnesses and presentations. Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Others, especially the elderly and those with comorbidities, are more likely to develop serious illness with multi-organ involvement. This paper highlights 2 patients who were infected with COVID-19 and developed HUS at the Couva Hospital, Trinidad.
