Interleukin-33/ST2 signaling contributes to the severity of hemolytic uremic syndrome induced by enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli

ConclusionsOur results indicate that IL-33 contributes to the severity of EHEC-induced HUS. Serum sST2 level in HUS patients correlated with disease activity, which suggests its potential role as a marker for disease activity and development of encephalopathy in patients with EHEC-induced HUS.
