Cerebral Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings in Adults with Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome Following an Infection with Escherichia coli, Subtype O104:H4

Purpose Infections with Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli typically occur in children causing haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) and neurological symptoms in 20–50 %. Little information is available on the morphology of brain manifestations in adults. The purpose of this study was to identify a characteristic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pattern during the outbreak of a novel mutation of Escherichia coli O104:H4.
