متن کامل'Pauci-immune' rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis associated with systemic vasculitis.

The paucity of immune deposits can be separated from the other two major immunohistologic variants of crescentic glomerulonephritis, ie, antiglomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibody-mediated and immune complex-mediated glomerulonephritis. Here we describe the case of a 42-ye...
