Frequency of intraendothelial 'virus-like' particles: an electron microscopy study of 376 human renal biopsies

J Clin Pathol. 1973 Jan;26(1):21-4. doi: 10.1136/jcp.26.1.21.

Abstract

Intraendothelial ;virus-like' particles were found in all cases requiring a renal biopsy: in 89% of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), in 73% of those receiving renal transplants more than one year before, and in 24.5% of all other renal biopsies.
