Fourteen patients are described with a syndrome of methicillin-induced interstitial nephritis. In all patients severe renal dysfunction developed with an average peak serum creatinine of 8 mg/100 ml. An increased total peripheral eosinophil count was found in all patients. All patients had sterile pyuria and each of nine patients studied by Wright's stain of urine sediment had marked eosinophiluria. These findings are suggestive of methicillin-induced interstitial nephritis, although proteinura was a variable finding in our patients. Eight of 14 patients in our study received prednisone therapy for their interstitial nephritis, and the time lapse between maximal and final base line serum creatinine levels was statistically less in the prednisone-treated compared to the nontreated groups. Clinical manifestations of this syndrome are discussed, and the light and electron microscopic and immunofluorescent findings on renal biospy are described.
