Abstract

The association between infection and kidney disease has been known since the mid-1800s (“edematous swelling with scanty, dark, and at times totally suppressed urine” Burserius). Infections can cause a variety of glomerular diseases. Many microorganisms, including microbes, viruses, and parasites, can cause postinfectious glomerulonephritis (Table 1).
