Abstract Background Crescentic glomerulonephritis with syphilis infection is rare, and the mechanism underlying the formation of glomerular capillary wall damage-induced crescent has not been elucidated. Case presentation A 62-year-old Japanese male showed edema, eruption, and rapid deterioration of the renal function after an acute syphilis infection. A renal biopsy showed crescentic glomerulonephritis with C3 deposition in the glomerular capillary wall, and immunostaining for anti-Treponema pallidum antibody was weakly positive in some interstitium and one glomerulus. Electron microscopy revealed the presence of string-shaped structures in the glomerular capillary walls. After treatment with penicillin followed by prednisolone, the renal function and urinary abnormalities, including Treponema pallidum protein, disappeared. Conclusions Crescentic glomerulonephritis associated with syphilis showed a string-shaped deposition in the glomerular capillary and urinary Treponema pallidum protein excretion, and was effectively treated with penicillin and prednisolone. |
