Abstract:
Here we report a case of a 65-year-old female, where we encountered acute glomerulonephritis. The patient initially presented with a hemorrhagic blister involving the second through fourth toes with serosanguinous discharge and was on hydralazine for blood pressure control. Differentials included Staphylococcus-associated/lupus nephritis/anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA) vasculitis. Still, detailed history and meticulous clinical approach with supporting labs and imaging helped us to narrow it to Staphylococcus-associated glomerulonephritis, which is rarely encountered in clinical practice and is associated with high mortality. The management of the patient resulted in a positive outcome and she was discharged home.
