We report a 16-year-old patient who developed concurrent poststreptococcal reactive arthritis and acute glomerulonephritis.
A high titer of antistreptolysin O antibody confirmed the preceding streptococcal infection. The patient presented with symmetric
persistent tenosynovitis of hands and feet. Renal biopsy showed typical findings of acute glomerulonephritis with crescent
formation. Physicians who treat patients with arthritis of acute onset, especially after throat infection, should be aware
of possible urinary abnormalities or renal dysfunction.
