A 15-year-old male admitted for Pott's puffy tumor developed recurrent episodes of fever, diffuse morbilliform rash, eosinophilia, and tubulointerstitial nephritis while on multiple antibiotics. Lymphocyte blast transformation (LBT), a method of detecting cellular immune response by measuring levels of interferon-γ (IFN-γ), was used to diagnose vancomycin hypersensitivity and guide antibiotic s...

We report a 70-year-old woman with Sjögren's syndrome who had severe renal dysfunction with mild proteinuria and elevated urinary low-molecular-weight proteins. Based on these clinical presentations, interstitial nephritis due to Sjögren's syndrome was strongly suspected. Unexpectedly, renal pathology revealed amyloid light-chain (AL) lambda-type depositions predominantly in the vasculatures wi...

Objective: To review the reported cases of kidney injury following vaccination for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with a focus on renal pathology. Methods: We searched case reports complications after COVID-19 vaccine in PubMed. Results: A total 36 articles including 49 were reported. These included minimal change (n=17), IgA nephropathy (IgAN) (n=15), nephritis/vasculitis (n=5), ANCA glom...

Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease is a recently defined disease entity, characterized by high serum IgG4 concentration and comprised of a spectrum of systemic disorders, including Mikulicz’s disease; autoimmune pancreatitis; Riedel’s thyroiditis; sclerosing cholangitis; retroperitoneal fibrosis; tubulointerstitial nephritis; and lung lesions, such as hilar lymphadenopathy, pseudotumor an...
