Unusual presentation of familial Mediterranean fever with co‐existing polyarteritis nodosa and acute post‐streptococcal glomerulonephritis

Acute post‐streptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN) and polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) may occur simultaneously after streptococcal infection in a child who is previously healthy but carries a Mediterranean fever (MEFV) mutation. The homozygous M694V mutation in the MEFV gene may cause an augmented resp...

Description
Summary:Acute post‐streptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN) and polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) may occur simultaneously after streptococcal infection in a child who is previously healthy but carries a Mediterranean fever (MEFV) mutation. The homozygous M694V mutation in the MEFV gene may cause an augmented response to the streptococcal infection that plays a role in the development of both clinical manifestations. Mediterranean fever mutation should be considered in the unusual presentation of co‐existing APSGN and PAN.
