  • Title: Antibiotic-induced recurring interstitial nephritis.
    Author: Sakarcan A, Marcille R, Stallworth J.
    Journal: Pediatr Nephrol; 2002 Jan; 17(1):50-1. PubMed ID: 11793135.
    Abstract:
    Acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) is often induced by drug therapy and accounts for 1%-3% of adult cases of renal failure. A 13-year-old white female with cystic fibrosis developed two episodes of biopsy proven AIN following antibiotic use over a 5-year period. The first episode resolved with pulse steroid therapy and the second resolved without intervention. Steroid therapy may play a role in aborting subsequent AIN attacks.
