Complement factor H auto-antibodies (CFH-ab) are a rare cause (6-10%) of atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome (aHUS). All observations previously described were retrospective and occurred in children or teenagers. We report the first case of aHUS associated with anti-CFH antibodies in an adult patient who was successfully treated by plasma exchange, corticosteroids and rituximab.
