“…Histologic studies 19,20,40,41 in patients with sepsis demonstrated microvascular thrombosis associated with significant ischemic organ injury. Angiographic studies 42,43 in patients with the ARDS demonstrated extensive microvascular obstruction, which improved following the administration of thrombolytics.…”

“…Since staphylococcal infections were first identified as causal agents of glomerulonephritis by Powell in 1961, 6 two pathological patterns of glomerulonephritis associated with staphylococcal infection are well defined. Glomerulonephritis secondary to S. aureus infection, whether occurring after skin infection, deep-seated abscesses, or endocarditis, exhibits a histological pattern identical to acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis.…”

Favorable Outcome of Crescentic IgA Nephropathy Associated with Methicillin-ResistantStaphylococcus aureusInfection

Dominant or codominant IgA deposits in the setting of proliferative glomerulonephritis usually indicate IgA nephropathy, Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis, or, sometimes, lupus nephritis. However, a new type of poststaphylococcal glomerulonephritis with predominantly IgA deposition has been increasingly reported. Herein, we report an unusual case of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis following methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection. Renal biopsy showed crescentic IgA nephropathy. The renal function improved after eradication of infection and administration of immunosuppressive therapy. Although the limited data support the use of immunosuppressive agents in this setting, one must proceed with caution. We suggest that immunosuppressive therapy should only be an option if the underlying infection has definitely been well controlled while the renal disease still progresses.
