Clinical features included hypertension, macroscopic haematuria, massive proteinuria of 10 g per 24 hours and azotaemia. Following treatment with antibiotics, the azotaemia resolved and proteinuria decreased to less than 0.5 g per 24 hours, but microscopic haematuria and hypertension persisted. Renal biopsy during recovery revealed IgA nephropathy with minimal mesangial changes, suggesting a causal relation between brucellosis and IgA nephropathy with a reversible nephrotic syndrome.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/pgmj.68.804.834","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,29]],"date-time":"2008-12-29T21:01:03Z","timestamp":1230584463000},"page":"834-836","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Brucellosis with nephrotic syndrome, nephritis and IgA nephropathy"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"68","author":[{"given":"Nava","family":"Siegelmann","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine B"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abraham S","family":"Abraham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine B"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bernard","family":"Rudensky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Laboratory of Bacteriology and Immunology, Shaare Zedek Medical Center , POB 3235, Jerusalem 91031, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ovadia","family":"Shemesh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine B"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1992,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"5670","article-title":"On the recovery of Micrococcus melitensis from urine of Mediterranean fever patients","volume-title":"Reports of Commission for Investigation of Mediterranean Fever, Part III, Section IV.
