Staphylococcus Infection-Associated Glomerulonephritis Mimicking IgA Nephropathy

Staphylococcus infection-associated glomerulonephritis mimicking IgA nephropathy.

The association of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection with glomerulonephritis (GN) has been well documented in Japan but not in North America. Recently, eight renal biopsies with IgA-predominant or -codominant GN from eight patients with underlying staphylococcal infection, but without endocarditis, were observed at a single institution in a 12-mo period. Renal biopsie...

Glomerulonephritis associated with Staphylococcus aureus infection.

Renal lesions commonly seen in SBE include localized infarcts, abscesses, therapy-related interstitial nephritis, and glomerulonephritis ( 1-2). The incidence of glomerulonephritis associated with SBEhas not been determined. The most commonorganisms leading to SBEare the streptococcus viridans group and coagulase-negative staphylococci, including Staphylococcus (Staph.) epidermidis ( 1). The re...

IgA-dominant Staphylococcus infection-associated glomerulonephritis: case reports and review of the literature

Background and objectives. The mesangial deposition of IgA is rarely described with proliferative glomerulonephritis associated with Staphylococcus infection. Recently, this association has been increasingly recognized possibly due to the increased rate of Staphylococcus infection. Design setting, participants and measurements. We report two cases of methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus ...

Silicosis associated with crescentic IgA mesangial nephropathy.

Systemic Sarcoidosis Associated to IgA Nephropathy

The sarcoidosis was rarely associated to IgA nephropathy. We report a 38-year-old man presented decreased visual acuity and xerostomia. He had two axillary lymphadenopathies and pitting edema of legs in physical examination. The ophthalmological examination revealed a right posterior uveitis. Biological investigations showed a mild renal insufficiency and elevated serum level of angiotensin-con...
