Glomerulonephritis Associated with Bacterial Endocarditis
Pathological findings of renal tissue and infected vegetations on the aortic valve. (a) Large cellular crescent with fibrin deposition in the glomerulus (PASM and Masson staining, ×400); (b) IgM deposition in the mesangial area and peripheral capillary wall (Immunofluorescence, ×200); (c and d) Many scattered colonies of bacteria which were stained blue, can be observed in the vegetation (H and E staining, [c] ×100; [d] ×1000). Infective endocarditis-induced crescentic glomerulonephritis dramatically improved after removal of vegetations and valve replacement: Yang M, Wang GQ, Chen YP, Cheng H - Chinese medical journal (2015).
