A population-based study of hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) revealed that 20 child residents of Washington, DC and Baltimore, Maryland were hospitalized with HUS from January 1979 through September 1983. The number of cases peaked during the summer and fall; none occurred during the winter. Incidence of hospitalized cases was higher in Whites and girls than in Blacks or boys, and the average annual incidence was 1.08 cases/100,000 children less than 5 year old. This study demonstrates that HUS is not unique to the West Coast, as previously suggested.
一项基于人群的溶血性尿毒症综合征(HUS)研究表明,1979年1月至1983年9月期间,华盛顿特区和马里兰州巴尔的摩市有20名儿童居民因HUS住院。病例数在夏季和秋季达到峰值;冬季无病例发生。白人及女孩的住院病例发生率高于黑人或男孩,5岁以下儿童的年均发病率为每10万人1.08例。这项研究表明,HUS并非如之前所认为的那样仅在西海岸出现。
