Boutonneuse spotted fever is a summer and late spring infection caused by Rickettsia Conorii mainly in Middle East countries adjacent to the mediterranean coast (1). Malignant forms have been described in debilitated patients associated with prerenal azotemia, acute tubular necrosis or renal vasculitis (2, 3). We report for the first time to our knowledge, the association of an extracapillary glomerulonephritis with a Boutonneuse spotted fever. This observation suggest that Rickettsia Conorii, as other bacteria, could participate to the development of glomerulonephritis.

Introduction: The presence of three different entities in a single patient is usually of clinical interest and mostly anecdotal. The overlap of systemic sclerosis (SSc), Sjögren syndrome (SS), and ANCA-associated renal-limited vasculitis has been reported only once previously.
Case Presentation: A 61-year-old female was evaluated at consultation with 2 years of symptomatology, presenting cardboard-like skin, sclerodactyly, limited oral opening, and dry skin and eyes.

IgA nephropathy in children with minimal proteinuria: to biopsy or not to biopsy?
Pediatr Nephrol
March 2024
Division of Nephrology, Hôpital Robert Debré, Paris, France.
Background: Tubulointerstitial lesions and glomerular inflammation severity have been shown to correlate with proteinuria in children with IgA nephropathy (cIgAN). However, there is a lack of data regarding severity of histopathologic findings in cIgAN in patients with minimal to absent proteinuria since kidney biopsy indications are not well defined in these cases.
Methods: Twenty-eight cIgAN patients with kidney biopsy from 4 different centers in Paris (France) and Montreal (Canada) with a urine protein/creatinine ratio (UPCr) ≤ 0.
