Acute Glomerulonephritis in a Child with Chlamydia pneumoniae Infection: A Case Report by Giovanna Vitaliti, Raffaele Falsaperla, Leandra Giunta, Giuseppina Spataro, Venerando Rapisarda, Mario Velardita, Giuseppe Nunnari, Piero Pavone

“…Infectious diseases seem to be an important and independent risk factor for renal failure, but the underlying mechanism of renal involvement during some kinds of infectious diseases is still unclear, even if the literature data report immunomediated and/or autoimmune mechanisms to explain the pathogenic relationship between the two diseases. In paediatric patients, Chlamydia pneumoniae is a rare cause of renal complications and it may manifest in several ways, mainly involving the respiratory system, even if also renal and glomerulalr complications, have been described. …”
