12 year old male child presented with acute renal failure, anemia & thrombocytopenia without any recent history of gastrointestinal or respiratory symptoms. His CBC showed Hb-6.5 gm%, WBC count-6500/cubic milimeter and platelet count- 60000/microlitre. Peripheral blood smear showed many shistocytes and high anti-FH antibody titre thus confirmed as a diagnosis of atypical HUS.
