A 51-year old woman treated with high doses of penicillin G developed acute intravascular haemolysis and tubulointerstitial nephritis. Immunological investigations showed circulating immune complexes, decreased C3 and C4 components of complement, IgG deposits in the renal interstitium, positive direct Coombs test with anti-IgG sera and complement and circulating anti-penicillin antibodies demonstrated by indirect antiglobulin tests and IgG RAST. Plasma haemoglobin and anti-penicillin antibodies could be removed by an early exsanguino-transfusion. These findings suggest that the nephritis was due to immune complexes and the haemolysis, to a combined hapten-type and immune complex mechanism.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009395 Nephritis, Interstitial Inflammation of the interstitial tissue of the kidney. This term is generally used for primary inflammation of KIDNEY TUBULES and/or surrounding interstitium. For primary inflammation of glomerular interstitium, see GLOMERULONEPHRITIS. Infiltration of the inflammatory cells into the interstitial compartment results in EDEMA, increased spaces between the tubules, and tubular renal dysfunction.

D010400 Penicillin G A penicillin derivative commonly used in the form of its sodium or potassium salts in the treatment of a variety of infections. 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.
