Case report details mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis linked to west nile virus, highlighting emerging viral triggers for infection-related glomerulonephritis.
Infection-related glomerulonephritis (IRGN) has been traditionally associated with bacterial pathogens like Streptococcus and Staphylococcus . However, shifts in epidemiology have expanded its spectrum to include viral etiologies. We describe the first reported case of mesangial proliferative GN associated with West Nile Virus (WNV) infection, emphasizing the need to recognize emerging viral triggers in the differential diagnosis of IRGN.
