MS. ORRBINE:
There was no increase in the
risk of clinically important central nervous
system sequelae when patients were compared with
their carefully matched controls. On all main
measures of cognitive, academic and behavioral
function children with HUS fared no worse than
their controls.
These formal observations accord
with low rates of grade retention, remedial
services in both groups. We saw really equal
mean in our HUS and controls for extra help and
are consistent with more recent reports for good
neurological outcome despite prolonged coma and
other acute neurological symptoms for some of the
children during their acute episode.
