title: Shunt nephritis associated with Moraxella bovis.
abstract: Moraxella bovis was repeatedly isolated from cerebrospinal fluid in a girl with two episodes of shunt nephritis. Clinical remission of nephritis was achieved only after shunt replacement. A list of about 20 infectious agents reported to date in patients with shunt nephritis is given. M. bovis is yet another agent previously not reported in patients with shunt nephritis.
