IgE and immune complex glomerulonephritis.
A case is presented of immune complex proliferative glomerulonephritis associated with peripheral eosinophilia, renal deposits of IgE, and eosinophils in glomeruli and interstitial tissue. Two sequential renal specimens are described. This study also reviews prior reports of IgE in glomerulonephritis and discusses possible explanations for the presence of IgE.
