Streptococcus pneumoniae associated hemolytic uremic syndrome (Sp-HUS) is defined as microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and acute renal injury, in a patient with Streptococcus pneumoniae (Sp) invasive infection. A 2-year-old boy was admitted with pneumonia and empyema. Sp was isolated from blood and pleural fluid cultures. After 72 h, the patient showed paleness, asthenia, respiratory whining and oliguria. Laboratory showed anemia, low platelets, increased blood urea, creatirnina, lactate dehdrogenase, direct Coombs +, schistocytes, fibrinogen, normal coagulogram and increased D-dimer. Proteinuria and hematuria were detected in urine. Mechanical ventilatory assistance and transfusions of washed red blood cells were required. The patient recovered progressively.
