Enterococcal endocarditis associated with crescentic glomerulonephritis
Tóm tắt
Glomerulonephritis secondary to infective endocarditis (IE) is an uncommon diagnosis and is usually associated with cardiac valvular infection by blood-culture-positive bacteria. We report a case of necrotizing glomerulonephritis associated with culture-positive endocarditis caused by Enterococcus faecalis. The patient presented with renal abnormalities and was further investigated by renal biopsy. He had immune complex-mediated necrotizing and crescentic glomerulonephritis with mesengial and capillary deposition of immunoglobulin M (Ig M), Ig G, and complement 3 (C3). He was treated with antibiotics, including ampicillin and gentamicin. In addition, steroid and cyclophosphamide were administered. The patient died of renal failure 48 days after hospital admission. In conclusion, glomerulonephritis caused by Enterococcus faecalis endocarditis is an immune-complex-mediated disease characterized by necrotizing and crescentic glomerular lesions that can be fatal despite aggressive antimicrobial and immunosuppressive therapy.
