ABSTRACT
An 8-year-old female child presented with simultaneous symptoms of post infectious glomerulonephritis and acute rheumatic fever. The child was treated with penicillin V, Aspirin and she responded well to the treatment. However, this co presentation of acute rheumatic fever and post infectious glomerulonephritis in a child is rare and hence authors report the case. This sequela of streptococcal autoimmunity are considered to be pathogenetically distinct.
