Acute Poststreptoccocal Glomerulonephritis and Acute Rheumatic Fever; Concurrently But Different Non-Suppurative Complications of Poststreptoccocal Infection
Yılmaz Tabel*, Gülendam Koçak*, İlke Mungan*, Serdal Güngör*, Cemşit Karakurt* . Abstract | | | |
Acute rheumatic fever (ARF) and acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN) are two distinct nonsupurative complications of streptococcal infection. Since they occur with different streptococcal serotypes, the occurrence of ARF and APSGN in the same patient is rare. We report two patients at 7 and 10 years of age who presented with typical clinical findings of ARF and APSGN after streptococcal throat infection.
Key Words: Childhood, Acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis, Acute rheumatic fever
