Many types of
glomerulonephritis are associated with
human immunodeficiency virus (
HIV)
infection. We present a case of a 50-year-old Korean man with an
HIV infection,
who developed
nephrotic syndrome and progressive
renal failure. Renal
biopsy showed lupus-like
glomerulonephritis without clinical or serologic evidence of
systemic lupus erythematosus. After the
administration of
antiretroviral agents and
steroids, there was reduction in the amount of
proteinuria and improvement in renal function.
