Abstract

A case is reported of methicillin‐induced acute interstitial lymphocytic nephritis following treatment of a Staphylococcus aureus infection. Direct immunofluorescence showed a linear staining of the tubular basement membrane with anti‐IgG and ‐C3. It is suggested that both cellular and humoral immunologic mechanisms are of pathogenic importance.
