Glomerular lesions, including focal and segmental glomerulonephritis, mesangial proliferation (1), and minimal change disease have all been reported (2). Acute renal failure in association with a hemolytic-uremic syndrome (3) and with pentamidine administration (4) have also been seen. We have recently seen two patients whose treatment for cerebral toxoplasmosis with sulfadiazine was complicated by transient acute renal failure.A 28-year-old homosexual man had a 3-day history of nausea, vomiting, and crampy abdominal pain. On the day before admission the patient...References1. PARDOALDANACOLTON VMR. Glomerular lesions in the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Ann Intern Med. 1984;101:197-206. LinkGoogle Scholar2.
