A case report of crescentic glomerulonephritis associated with hantaan virus infection

Abstract

Although various glomerular diseases in hantavirus infection have been reported, an association between hantavirus infection and crescentic glomerulonephritis has not been described. Herein, we report a case of immune complex-mediated crescentic glomerulonephritis in a 70-year-old man with Hantaan virus infection. © The Author [2009].
