RESUMO

RESUMO

This is a review of two children who developed acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) following acute gangrenous appendicitis (AGA) with periappendicular collections. The first patient presented with AGN during the course of appendicitis. The second patient developed AGN after appendectomy. Both patients did not have any other predisposing factors. AGN resolved in both patients after massive intravenous antibiotics. This is the first report of acute appendicitis as a predisposing factor for AGN
