Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis complicating acute rheumatic fever

Postgrad Med J. 1995 Sep;71(839):553-4. doi: 10.1136/pgmj.71.839.553.

Abstract

A case of acute rheumatic fever and glomerulonephritis following streptococcal throat infection is presented. The coincidence of rheumatic fever and post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis is uncommon, but well recognised. This case is of additional interest since the nephritis was crescentic.
