Authors recently experienced a case of acute interstitial nephritis associated with Yersinia
pseudotuberculosis infection in 10-8/12 year old boy, who was admitted to prolonged high fever. On
3rd hospital day, puffy face and oliguria were noted. BUN and serum creatinine rose to peak level,
94.1 mg/dl and 10.1 mg/dl, respectively on 7th hospital day. After then renal functions were normal-
ized gradually without specific treatment. Agglutination antibody titer against Yersinia pseudotuber-
culosis la was 1:320 and renal pathologic findings was compatible with acute interstitial nephritis. So
we report here the clinical findings of this case with a brief review of the literatures. |
