Proliferative "crescentic" glomerulonephritis in a burned patient.
Acute renal failure is one of the major complications of burn and it is accompanied by a high mortality rate. However, acute glomerulonephritis due to major burn have not been reported in burn literature. We report a case of crescentic glomerulonephritis which began at 27 days postburn. In this case glomerulonephritis may be due to infection probably pseudomonas or enterococus sepsis. We also felt that imipenem may be contributed the formation of glomerulonephritis.
