[Acute cytomegalovirus glomerulonephritis in a renal transplant patient].
We report on an acute glomerulonephritis with renal failure in a living-related renal allograft recipient with a cytomegalovirus infection. The clinical presentation was typical of an acute nephritis. Renal biopsy showed lesions of diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis. The disease resolved spontaneously. The pathogenesis of cytomegalovirus glomerulopathy is briefly discussed.
