A 37-year-old man developed Henoch--Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) with nephrotic syndrome and rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis after otitis media and externa due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection. Despite resolution of the infection and prednisolone therapy, his kidney disease worsened. However, the addition of cyclosporine A finally resulted in complete remission of the nephrotic syndrome. A review of similar cases with post-Staphylococcal infection HSPN revealed strong similarities between this entity and immunoglobulin A-dominant postinfectious glomerulonephritis (IgA-PIGN), an increasingly recognized form of PIGN typically associated with Staphylococcal infection, in both clinical and morphological features. Post-Staphylococcal infection HSPN may constitute a subgroup of IgA-PIGN.

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening complication that can ensue following infection. The enterotoxin produced by these bacteria (SEB) acts as a superantigen thereby activating a large proportion of T cells leading to cytokine storm and severe lung injury. Δ9Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a psychoactive ingredient found in Cannabis sativa, has been shown to act as a potent anti-inflammatory agent.

A spate of recent publications describes a newly recognized form of glomerulonephritis associated with active staphylococcal infection. The key kidney biopsy findings, glomerular immunoglobulin A (IgA) deposits dominant or codominant with IgG deposits, resemble those of IgA nephritis. Many authors describe this condition as "postinfectious" and have termed it "poststaphylococcal glomerulonephritis.

Background: There is a broad spectrum of glomerular histological findings in postinfectious glomerulonephritis (PIGN). We conducted this retrospective study to compare the clinicopathological features between two distinct morphology of PIGN.
Methods: Thirteen patients with typical endocapillary proliferation and eight patients with atypical mesangial proliferation were enrolled in this study.
