Post-infectious glomerulonephritis presenting as acute renal failure in a patient with Lyme disease.

Abstract

Borrelia burgdorferi is a possible cause of post-infectious GN in humans as it is in dogs. Difficulties in identifying Borrelia burgdorferi may also be one of the reasons for the paucity of reports on the association of this infection with glomerulonephritis in humans. Currently, various types of histological renal lesions have been reported.
