Abstract
The clinical and biochemical features of five Sudanese patients who developed acute nephritis during typhoid fever are presented. The nephritis was transient and disappeared with treatment of the typhoid fever. Renal biopsy showed proliferative change as the main glomerular lesion.
All five patients had previous schistosomiasis mansoni infection. Renal involvement in schistosomiasis has previously been described. It is postulated that typhoid fever acts as a triggering mechanism in patients so predisposed.
