Clinical, Pathological, and Prognostic Characteristics of Glomerulonephritis Related to Staphylococcal Infection.

Staphylococcal infection has become a common cause of postinfectious glomerulonephritis in the past 3 decades.

We conducted a pooled analysis of published literature in electronic databases and analyzed the clinical features, laboratory findings, and histopathological changes.
