Henoch-Schönlein nephritis triggered by Salmonella enteritidis infection.

374 Nefrologia 2010;30(3):367-80 with mild proteinuria. Blood pressure was always normal. Among laboratory investigations creatinine was 77 μmol/l, platelet count, C3 and C4 levels were normal, antinuclear antibody and rheumatoid factor were absent, serum IgA levels were increased for his age (232 mg/dl). Characteristic skin manifestations, joint involvement and hematuria led us to the diagnosi...
