  • Title: [Acute interstitial nephritis and streptococcal infection].
    Author: Kolko A, Brevet F, Mougenot B, Pagniez D, Fleury D, Vanhille P.
    Journal: Nephrologie; 1994; 15(1):17-20. PubMed ID: 8183413.
    Abstract:
    Two patients with acute renal failure and streptococcal erysipela are reported. In both cases, renal biopsy showed acute interstitial nephritis with a predominantly mononuclear infiltrate. Beta lactam antibiotic without steroid therapy was followed by complete recovery of renal function. It seems likely that some cases of AIN related to infection are erroneously attributed to antibiotic hypersensitivity.
