The most frequent complications of cardiac involvement in hemolytic uremic syndrome are myocarditis and cardiac dysfunction due to fluid overload. Pericarditis remains very rare in hemolytic uremic syndrome. To our knowledge, only five cases of cardiac tamponade associated with hemolytic uremic syndrome have been described in literature.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Case summary<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A 27-month-old Caucasian girl presented with symptoms of nonbloody diarrhea and tonic-clonic seizures. The diagnosis of Shiga-like toxin-producing <jats:italic>Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic> hemolytic uremic syndrome with central nervous system involvement was made, and stool examination revealed infection with a Shiga-like toxin-producing <jats:italic>Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic>. She did not need renal replacement therapy but had severe neurological impairment. The patient\u2019s course was complicated by pericardial effusion. A pericardiocentesis was performed via an apical approach because the pericardial effusion was predominantly surrounding the left ventricle. Effusion analysis showed an exudate and positivity for human herpesvirus-6B on polymerase chain reaction with viremia. This finding was consistent with primary human herpesvirus-6 infection with encephalitis.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We report this uncommon case of Shiga-like toxin-producing <jats:italic>Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic> hemolytic uremic syndrome associated with a severe human herpesvirus-6 infection. Secondary isolated pericardial effusion and atypical neurological involvement are uncommon in Shiga-like toxin-producing <jats:italic>Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic> hemolytic uremic syndrome and should lead the physician to perform additional investigations.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13256-021-02873-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,25]],"date-time":"2021-05-25T14:03:02Z","timestamp":1621951382000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Hemolytic uremic syndrome related to Shiga-like toxin-producing Escherichia coli with encephalitis hiding a human herpesvirus-6 infection: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6188-508X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sophie","family":"Mounier","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Arthur","family":"Gavotto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julie","family":"Tenenbaum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pierre","family":"Meyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marc","family":"Fila","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julien","family":"Baleine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,25]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"2873_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1035","DOI":"10.1681\/ASN.2004100861","volume":"16","author":"M Noris","year":"2005","unstructured":"Noris M, Remuzzi G.
