Abstract

This article, published in Indian Pediatrics, discusses a case of cobalamin C deficiency as an uncommon cause of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). The case involves a 3-year-old boy who presented with symptoms including fever, abdominal pain, and decreased urine output. The child was diagnosed with cobalamin C deficiency through genetic testing and was treated with injectable hydroxocobalamin and other supportive care. The article emphasizes the importance of considering uncommon etiologies when diagnosing TMA and highlights the need for early and specific treatment for improved outcomes.
