Abstract
The overall incidence of D+ HUS is estimated to be approximately 2.1 cases per 100,000 persons per year, with a peak incidence in children who are younger than 5 years (6.1 cases per 100,000 per year). Incidence tends to parallel the seasonal fluctuation of E coli infection, which peaks between June and September. Incidence of DHUS in children is approximately 2 cases per year per 100,000 total population.
