Popis:	Chemotherapy-associated myelosuppression and renal dysfunction is not uncommon during childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) therapy. Here we report 2 cases of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) presenting with pancytopenia and renal dysfunction that developed during maintenance chemotherapy characterized by hypocomplementemia. Both cases experienced recurrence after resolution of the initial aHUS episode upon resumption of chemotherapy, raising a possible contributory role for chemotherapy in the disease pathogenesis.
