Acute infection-related glomerulonephritis with disseminated gonococcal infection in a 13-year-old girl
The C4 value returned to normal within 10 days while the C3 value normalised later at 5 weeks, suggesting possible involvement of both the classical and alternative pathways of complement. In a recent study of acute infection-related glomerulonephritis, a third of patients showed both low C3 and C4 levels, 7 similar to the findings in our patient.

Acute Glomerulonephritis Clinical Presentation
Most often, the patient with acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) is a boy, aged 2-14 years, who suddenly develops puffiness of the eyelids and facial edema in the setting of a poststreptococcal infection. The urine is dark and scanty, and the blood pressure may be elevated. Nonspecific symptoms include weakness, fever, abdominal pain, and malaise.

Post streptococcal glomerulonephritis Case Study
A classic case follows a streptococcal infection by 7-12 days. This is the time needed for the development of antibodies. Our case study focuses on this disease progression and series of graphics explains how the inflammatory response is caused by an immune reaction following the entrapment of immune complexes in the glomerular capillary membrane.
PDF Acute Poststreptococcal Glomerulonephritis: The Most Common Acute
acute glomerulonephritis. Because it was later discovered in the 1920s that scarlet fever was caused by an infection with b-hemolytic streptococcus, the etiologically correct term poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSGN) became synony-mous with acute glomerulonephritis, and the 2 terms are often used interchangeably even today.

Glomerulonephritis
Glomerulonephritis is a collection of glomerular diseases mediated by different immunologic pathogenic mechanisms, resulting in varied clinical presentation and therapeutic outcomes. The signs and symptoms associated with glomerulonephritis are commonly nephrotic in nature and characterized by proteinuria.
