• A diagnosis of probable pneumococcal HUS is made in patients, usually younger than 2 years, with sepsis, pneumonia or meningitis, and positive direct Coombs' test without features of DIC.
• Therapy is with parenteral cephalosporins; vancomycin is used if there is high prevalence of multidrug resistance.
• Some authors suggest avoiding plasma infusions or plasma exchanges (PEX) and using washed red cells and platelets, if necessary.
