Acute glomerulonephritis in an adult with infected ventriculoatrial shunt.
A case of acute glomerulonephritis occurring during Staphylococcus albus infection of a ventriculoatrial shunt is described. It is the first case in which renal biopsy was repeated after clinical cure by shunt removal. This indicates that isolated haematuria and some histopathological changes may persist for at least a year.
