[Extramembranous glomerulonephritis during congenital syphilis]. 1979

J B Palcoux, and J Gaulme, and F Deméocq, and G Bétail, and D Beytout, and B Dalens

A 3 month old girl with congenital syphilis presented with the nephrotic syndrome due to extra membranous glomerulonephritis. The presence of the first component of the classical pathway of complement activation (C1q) in the glomerular deposits and the antitreponemal antibodies in circulating cryoglobulins (titre 1 : 320) support the hypothesis that immune complexes are responsbile for the glomerulonephritis in congenital syphilis.

It is effective against most gram-positive bacteria and against gram-negative cocci. It has also been used as an experimental convulsant because of its actions on GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID mediated synaptic transmission.

D003172 Complement C1 The first complement component to act in the activation of CLASSICAL COMPLEMENT PATHWAY. It is a calcium-dependent trimolecular complex made up of three subcomponents: COMPLEMENT C1Q; COMPLEMENT C1R; and COMPLEMENT C1S at 1:2:2 ratios. When the intact C1 binds to at least two antibodies (involving C1q), C1r and C1s are sequentially activated, leading to subsequent steps in the cascade of COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION.
