Glomerulonephritis following haemophilus influenzae pneumonia

Post-infectious glomerulonephritis is a common immune-complex mediated disease. In this report we describe a 23 year old Egyptian female who developed such a disease following lobar pneumonia due to Hemophilus influenzae. The clinical course and management of this patient was similar to that of other post-infectious glomerulonephritis. Nephritis was managed conservatively and resolved following treatment of the underlying pneumonia with a combination of third-generation cephalosporin and erythromycin. This association has not been reported previously
