摘要: A Japanese male infant presented with nephrotic syndrome at 41 days. His renal function progressively deteriorated, and he died 4 months of the age. An open biopsy revealed diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis (CrGN) without immune complex deposition, which is not characteristic congenital (CNS). Examination for nephrin antigen using rabbit anti-nephrin extra- intracellular site antibodies was positive. These clinical observations suggest that patient had a unique histological variant CNS. This first report rapidly progressive, pauci-immune CrGN in infancy.
