Abstract |
Bacteriological and virological tests were made at the disease onset and repeatedly in 100 children (66 boys and 34 girls) aged 2 to 15 years suffering from acute glomerulonephritis. The throat mucus was found to contain streptococci and staphylococci; direct immunofluorescence demonstrated antigens of influenza A1, A3, B virus, of parainfluenza virus, serotypes 1 and 3, of adenovirus and respiratory and syncytial virus; HBs- antigens, specific viral and bacterial antibodies were detected in the blood serum. At the onset of acute glomerulonephritis, 52.5% of the patients were diagnosed to have bacterial infection, 12.5% respiratory viral infection, and 27.5% mixed infection (respiratory viral and bacterial). Besides, 25.5% of the patients showed HBs-antigenemia. HBs-antigenemia and mixed (respiratory viral and bacterial) infection were found to produce an adverse effect on the course and outcome of acute glomerulonephritis. Long-term circulation of some viral antibodies (mostly to parainfluenza-3 antigen) was revealed on repeated studies as was their untoward effect on the outcome of acute glomerulonephritis.
