Abstract
We report a 16-year-old male who developed nephrotic syndrome related to membranous glomerulopathy with clinical and serological evidence of systemic lupus erythematosus after treatment with griseofulvin. To ourknowledge, this is the first case of griseofulvin-exacebated lupus in which nephrotic syndrome has been observed.
