N2 - Background.: In 2011 Escherichia coli O104:H4 caused an outbreak with >800 cases of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) in Germany, including 90 children. Data on the intermediate outcome in children after HUS due to E. coli O104:H4 have been lacking.Methods.: Follow-up data were gathered retrospectively from the medical records of patients who had been included in the German Pediatric HUS Registry during the 2011 outbreak.Results.: Seventy-two of the 89 (81%) patients were included after a median follow-up of 3.0 (0.9-4.7) years. Hypertension and proteinuria were present in 19% and 28% of these patients, respectively. Of 4 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) > stage 2 at short-term follow-up, 1 had a normalized estimated glomerular filtration rate, and 3 (4%) had persistent CKD > stage 2. In 1 of these patients, CKD improved from stage 4 to 3; 1 who had CKD stage 5 at presentation received kidney transplantation; and 1 patient required further hemodialysis during follow-up. One patient (1.4%) still had major neurological symptoms at the latest follow-up. Dialysis during the acute phase (P = .01), dialysis duration (P = .01), and the duration of oligo-/anuria (P = .005) were associated with the development of renal sequelae. Patients treated with eculizumab (n = 11) and/or plasmapheresis (n = 13) during the acute phase of HUS had comparable outcomes.Conclusions.: The overall outcome of pediatric patients after HUS due to E. coli O104:H4 was equivalent to previous reports on HUS due to other types of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC). Regular follow-up visits in patients are recommended after STEC-HUS.
