Acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis: a manifestation of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome.
Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is a well-described complication of initiation of highly active antiretroviral therapy in HIV-infected patients. As the immune system recovers, an inappropriate inflammatory response often occurs that causes significant disease. It is most commonly seen in patients naïve to therapy with CD4+ T-lymphocyte counts <100 cells/cmm and usually presen...
متن کاملAtypical Clinical Manifestations of Acute Poststreptococcal Glomerulonephritis
Acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN) is one of the most common and important renal diseases resulting from a prior infection with group A β-hemolytic streptococcus (GAS) (Ash and Ingulli, 2008). Typical clinical features of the disease include an acute onset with gross hematuria, edema, hypertension and moderate proteinuria (acute nephritic syndrome) 1 to 2 weeks after an antecede...
متن کاملNormal complement in early poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis.
Patients with acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis are usually found to have reduced serum concentrations of the third component of complement (C3), properdin, and total haemolytic complement (CH50).' We report here a unique variation of this pattern. A previously healthy 72-year-old boy was admitted to hospital after one day of macroscopic haematuria. Blood pressure was 110/80 mm Hg. Uri...
متن کاملThe current state of poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis.
Poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis is one of the oldest recognized renal diseases. In the past three decades, significant changes have occurred in its epidemiology, in new insight gained in the nephritogenic characteristics of streptococcal antigens, and in the natural history of the disease. The disease is now rare in industrialized nations, but in the underprivileged world, the burden of po...
متن کاملAcute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis: immune deposit disease.
The possible role of immunologic mechanisms in acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis was suggested in 1908 by Schick (2), who compared the delay in appearance of serum sickness after injection of heterologous serum to the latent period between scarlet fever and onset of acute glomerulonephritis. Evidence in support of this concept is the depression of serum complement during the early stag...
