Abstract
In two adult subjects who suffered acute episodes of rheumatic fever, sever kidney involvement developed with proteinuria and renal insufficiency. The clinical and histologic picture was typical of poststreptococcal (infectious) glomerulonephritis. During a follow-up period of more than three years, no clinical or biochemical abnormalities have been detected; thus, it is likely that both patients have recovered from their renal diseases. The coexistence of rheumatic fever and acute glomerulonephritis, which is uncommon even in your age groups, may be observed in adult subjects.
