  • Title: Sickle-cell disease and poststreptococcal acute glomerulonephritis.
    Author: Roy S, Murphy WM, Pitcock JA, Rimer RL.
    Journal: Am J Clin Pathol; 1976 Dec; 66(6):986-90. PubMed ID: 793378.
    Abstract:
    The cases of three children with sickle-cell hemoglobinopathy and acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis are described and discussed. Light and electron microscopic findings in three cases, and immunofluorescence microscopic findings in two are described. Since proliferative glomerulonephritis of either poststreptococcal or non-poststreptococcal etiology may be seen in patients who have sickle-cell disease, immunofluorescence and/or electron microscopic examination is essential for accurate diagnosis.
