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.
