Human Parvovirus B19-Induced Acute Glomerulonephritis: A Case Report

Figures & data

Figure 1.  Light microscopy findings. Light microscopy shows a glomerular lesion that was enlarged and hypercellular (PAS staining, original magnification ×200).

Figure 2.  Electron microscopy findings. The electron-dense deposits (arrows) were detected in the subendothelial area and mesangial area but not in the subepithelial area.

Table 1.  The characteristics of patients with endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis induced by HPVB19 infection.
