Abstract

Haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS), an illness with potentially serious sequelae, is reported infrequently in Australia. This article summarises the limited NSW data available describing cases of HUS and outlines an investigation into an apparent increase in incidence of HUS in NSW in the first quarter of 1999.
