“…97% of cases occur in less developed country especially in areas where skin infections are common. 7 Previous infection caused deposition of immune complex on glomerular wall which activates compliment system and caused vasculitis and hematuria. Activation of compliment system caused angiocapillary proliferation which restricts glomerular blood flow and eventually decrease perfusion to kidney.…”

Acute glomerulonephritis is inflammation of the kidney mediated by an immunological process. Group A βhaemolytic streptococcal infection is common in children aged 5-12 years old and can lead to acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis which may develop after recovery from a streptococcal throat infection or skin infection (impetigo). 97% of cases occur in less developed country. The incidence has decreased in industrialized nations due to improved hygienic condition. A 7-year-old boy, the eldest child of 4 siblings from a divorced parent, was admitted to Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan Kuantan in March 2015 due to facial puffiness for 1 day duration. There was also dark colored urine. Patient had history of productive cough for 3 days and fever for 2 days. Father also complained of skin ulcer on patient’s right feet for about 1 month. There was hypertension (198/80 mmHg). Urine examination showed hematuria, proteinuria, and leucocyturia. Anti-streptolysin O titre was high (1:800) and complement C3 level was low (0.29). Patient was treated with antibiotic, diuretic, and anti-hypertension. The child is entrusted to the parents who will be called by the Almighty, who will ask them about this trust. Parents play vital role in maintaining and promoting the good health of the children. Parents should also pay attention to cleanliness, personal hygiene and the prevention of disease, especially infection. Islam paid attention to washing hands and cleansing the air inhaled into the lungs by regular cleaning of the nose as part of ablution before performing prayer. Parents are responsible in preserving life, health and growth of their children. Caring for cleanliness and hygiene is not only deemed a good habit in Islam but also rendered into rituals that constitute part of the faith itself.

“…Based on these results, we diagnosed the patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), because of the presence of 5 of the 11 criteria of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 1997 revised classification criteria for SLE [1]. Histopathological examination by a renal biopsy revealed class IV nephritis according to the World Health Organization classification (diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis affecting >50% of glomeruli) [2]. After the diagnosis, she was treated with 40 mg/day of prednisolone and 150 mg/day of mizoribine and the disease had been controlled well.…”

The clinical manifestation of childhood systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is similar to that of adult SLE; however, the former tends to be more severe and more aggressive than the latter. The prevalence of malar rash in SLE patients was reported to be 50% to 60%, and the rash may sometimes mimic sunburn erythema, as in our patient; thus, the underlying disease may be misdiagnosed in certain cases.
