Immune complex glomerulonephritis developed in a patient with high-grade Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. Renal function declined steadily despite treatment with a prolonged course of bactericidal antimicrobial agents and apparent cure of the staphylococcal infection. Following initiation of corticosteroid therapy, renal function improved dramatically. Judicious use of corticosteroids should be considered in patients with persistent renal dysfunction secondary to infection-associated immune complex glomerulonephritis.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007105	Immune Complex Diseases	Group of diseases mediated by the deposition of large soluble complexes of antigen and antibody with resultant damage to tissue. Besides SERUM SICKNESS and the ARTHUS REACTION, evidence supports a pathogenic role for immune complexes in many other IMMUNE SYSTEM DISEASES including GLOMERULONEPHRITIS, systemic lupus erythematosus (LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS, SYSTEMIC) and POLYARTERITIS NODOSA.
