Mannan-binding lectin in children with Escherichia coli O157:H7 haemmorrhagic colitis and haemolytic uraemic syndrome

Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) triggers complement activation upon binding to microbial surfaces. MBL deficiency has been associated with increased susceptibility to severe bacterial infections. We hypothesized that MBL deficiency may predispose children to Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC)...
