Abstract

Austrian Syndrome Associated with Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 in Child

Highlights

1. Espié E, Grimont F, Mariani-Kurkdjian P, Bouvet P, Haeghebaert S, Filliol I, et al Surveillance of hemolytic uremic syndrome in children less than 15 years of age, a system to monitor O157 and nonO157 Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli infections in France, 1996–2006
One case of Austrian syndrome has been reported in the pediatric age group, in a 7-year-old girl in whom aortic valve endocarditis developed
Valve replacement must be considered to avoid development of cardiogenic shock, whereas medical treatment alone may be adequate in some cases of mitral endocarditis (3,4)

Summary

Introduction

1. Espié E, Grimont F, Mariani-Kurkdjian P, Bouvet P, Haeghebaert S, Filliol I, et al Surveillance of hemolytic uremic syndrome in children less than 15 years of age, a system to monitor O157 and nonO157 Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli infections in France, 1996–2006. Detection by 5′-nuclease PCR of Shigatoxin producing Escherichia coli O26, O55, O91, O103, O111, O113, O145 and O157:H7, associated with the world’s most frequent clinical cases. Blanco M, Blanco JE, Mora A, Rey J, Alonso JM, Hermoso M, et al Serotypes, virulence genes, and intimin types of Shiga toxin (verotoxin)–producing Escherichia coli isolates from healthy sheep in Spain.
