Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis associated with an Epstein–Barr virus infection

Type 1 membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is an immune complex-mediated disorder that has been associated with certain viral infections including hepatitis C, hepatitis B, hepatitis G, HIV and Hantavirus. We describe a patient with type 1 MPGN in native kidneys and nephrotic syndrome in whom there was strong evidence that a primary Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection played a causat...

Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis Associated with a Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection

Type 1 membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is an uncommon manifestation of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated renal disease in patients coinfected with hepatitis C virus. We report a case of MPGN characterized by nephrotic syndrome associated with HIV without hepatitis C coinfection. The patient had a favorable response to highly active antiretroviral therapy and angioten...

Efficacy of school urinary screening for membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis type 1.

AIMS In order to evaluate the efficacy of a school urinary screening programme, children with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) type 1 were studied. METHODS A total of 52 patients who had been diagnosed with MPGN type 1 from 1970 to 1997 were studied; 35 were identified after 1974 on screening (group S), and 17 were identified by presenting symptoms (group N), mostly before 1989...

Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis complicating Propionibacterium acnes infection

BACKGROUND Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) is a common microbe of the skin and mucosal surfaces rarely considered a true pathogen. However, it has been reported to cause serious infections. Subsequent ongoing low-grade antigenaemia may, in turn, lead to an immune-mediated glomerulonephritis with various renal histologies including that of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN). ME...
