| Summary: | Infection Related Glomerulonephritis (IRGN) is an immune-mediated disease caused by non-renal infections. The most common histopathology is diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis with neutrophilic infiltrate. IRGN presenting as crescentic glomerulonephritis is exceptionally uncommon. We describe a 17-year-old girl, with no prior comorbidities who presented with recurrent crescentic IRGN. The first episode was in 2014; she made a complete recovery with immunosuppression. She developed a repeat episode of crescentic Infection-Related Glomerulonephritis in 2019, which was also treated with immunosuppression. This case report presents an extremely rare presentation of recurrent IRGN with crescents. |
