چکیده
Although various glomerular diseases in hantavirus infection have been reported, an association between hantavirus infection and crescentic glomerulonephritis has not been described. Herein, we report a case of immune complex-mediated crescentic glomerulonephritis in a 70-year-old man with Hantaan virus infection.

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies crescentic allograft glomerulonephritis after sofosbuvir therapy
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) are well known to be associated with several types of vasculitis, including pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis, a form of rapid progressive glomerular nephritis (RPGN). ANCA vasculitis has also been reported after administration of propylthiouracil, hydralazine, cocaine (adulterated with levimasole), allopurinol, penicillamine and few other d...

Gross or microscopic hematuria is a common symptom of hematuria and occurs in less than 5% to 10% of patients with IGM with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic biomarkers of this disease after biopsy. Methods: IgA...
متن کاملSuperimposed Polymyositis in a Patient with Myeloperoxidase-Related Crescentic Glomerulonephritis
Renal involvement especially glomerulonephropathy in polymyositis or dermatomyositis is considered rare. Crescentic glomerulonephritis is even more so. Herein, we report a patient who was diagnosed with concurrent polymyositis and myeloperoxidase-related crescentic glomerulonephritis. We discuss the association between polymyositis or dermatomyositis and renal involvement, glomerulonephropathy,...
متن کاملMPO-ANCA associated crescentic glomerulonephritis with numerous immune complexes: case report
BACKGROUND Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated crescentic glomerulonephritis (CGN) is a major cause of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN). ANCA-associated CGN is generally classified into pauci-immune RPGN, in which there are few or no immune complexes. CASE PRESENTATION A 78-year-old man presented with RPGN after a 7-year course of chronic proteinuria and hematur...
متن کاملA case of membranous nephropathy and myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated glomerulonephritis
Membranous nephropathy (MN) may be a primary disease or secondary to autoimmune conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus, infection (for example, with hepatitis B or C virus), cancer or drugs. In primary MN, crescents are rarely observed. Therefore, the presence of crescents suggests another underlying disease, for example lupus nephritis, anti-glomerular basement membrane disease or ant...
