Abstract

Although various glomerular diseases in hantavirus infection have been reported, an association between hantavirus infection and crescentic glomerulonephritis has not been described. Herein, we report a case of immune complex-mediated crescentic glomerulonephritis in a 70-year-old man with Hantaan virus infection.
