Abstract

Drug-induced pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis has been described with several agents, including propylthiouracil, minocycline, D-penicillamine, and hydralazine. We present the case of a 60-year-old man who presented with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis in the setting of recent use of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole complicated by the development of the Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and was found to have biopsy-proven pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis and undetectable anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmic antibodies. We review the existing literature on the potential association between sulfonamides and hypersensitivity polyangiitis.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
