SUMMARY

Seventy-eight children were treated for the haemolytic-uraemic syndrome complicating bacillary dysentery over a ten-year period. Early dialysis favoured survival significantly. The renal status of 22 of the 28 survivors was re-evaluated 18–84 months after initial hospitalization. Complete recovery was found in all except two patients; one of them had neurological sequelae and the other a glomerulonephritic disease.
