👉 Fatal fluid, also known as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), is a severe complication of certain bacterial infections, most commonly caused by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC). This condition leads to the destruction of red blood cells and kidney cells, resulting in acute kidney failure, anemia, and thrombocytopenia (low platelet count). The exact mechanism is not fully understood, but it involves the immune system's response to bacterial toxins, which damage blood vessels and trigger inflammation, ultimately leading to organ dysfunction. Symptoms can include severe abdominal pain, diarrhea (often bloody), fatigue, and in extreme cases, shock or death. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent long-term complications.
