Abstract
There has been a history of various bacterial infections and glomerular injuries, which are
now pooled under the terminology of infection-related glomerulonephritis (IRGN). IRGN
is an immune complex-mediated glomerulonephritis (GN) preceded by infection with
subsequent recovery of renal function after the resolution of the infection. Pediatric IgAdominant infection associated with GN is rare and generally has a favorable prognosis
compared to adults with severe comorbidities, like diabetic nephropathy. We reported a
13-year-old girl presented with acute kidney injury with nephritic features with no history of
concurrent illness.
