Other Organisms Causing Acute Post-Infectious Glumeronephritis
Chronic Post-Infectious Glumeronephritis
- The reasons may include the easier access to the treatment of streptococcal infections and the widespread presence of fluoride in water, which decreases virulence factors of Streptococcus pyogenes.
- Acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis is used synonymously with AGN because AGN follows upper respiratory or skin infection with group A -hemolytic streptococcus in over 90% of cases

MRI of Hypertensive Encephalopathy in ASPGN
Neurological complication in APSGN cannot be attributed exclusively to hypertensive encephalopathy or abnormal serum biochemistry.
With advances in neuroimaging techniques, there is clear evidence that some children may develop cerebral vasculitis.
