Repeated examinations of the urine demonstrated absence of proteinuuria and hematuria throughout a nineteen-day hospital course. Her renal biopsy specimen revealed small scattered intramembranous, subendothelial and mesangial deposits in. immunofluorescence and electron microscopy, but essentially normal pattern in light microscopy indicating the resoulution stage of poststreptoccal glomeruloneph- ritis. A brief review of related literature was also made.
