Viral-associated glomerulopathies in children

“…His remission lasted only until resolution of flu symptoms, at which time the NS relapsed.

In total, 13 of 21 children reported in the literature had remissions within 1 week of developing exanthema.…”

LIPID NEPHROSIS IN CHILDREN<subtitle>Observations Over a Period of Twenty-Six Years</subtitle>

“…The two others when last seen had evidence of chronic progressive glomerulonephritis (Table 3). In the children who are clinically well, the edema was present for 6 months, 8 months, 10 months, 12 months, 14 months, 20 months, and 7 years. We wish to present summaries of the histories of two children who were edematous for longer periods.…”
