    Journal: Ann Clin Res; 1983 Apr; 15(2):92-4. PubMed ID: 6881908.
    Abstract:
    A 34 year old woman is described in whom carditis, arthritis, fever, leukocytosis and a high sedimentation rate developed two weeks after a streptococcal infection. The patient also had the nephrotic syndrome and rapidly progressive renal insufficiency. The renal biopsy specimen showed acute extracapillary (crescentic) glomerulonephritis. The initial response to corticosteroid therapy was good, but later a slowly progressive renal function impairment was seen.
