Abstract:
Glomerular nephropathy is unusually known in kala-azar. We present 3 cases and we report a review on the clinical, biological and immunohistological aspects of this glomerulonephritis. The immunologic mechanisms of this parasitic nephropathy and its reversibility after specific treatment are characteristic.
