Abstract
This study discusses the differential diagnosis of atypical postinfectious glomerulonephritis (PIGN) which may mimic a great variety of glomerular diseases. These include mild mesangial and/or endocapillary glomerulonephritis (GN) focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) with diffuse IgM mesangial deposits, crescentic GN with C3 hump-like deposits, focal mesangiocapillary GN superimposed on endocapillary pattern, membranous GN with diffuse exudative changes, crescentic GN with microabscesses, and postinfectious glomerulonephritis with anti-GBM linear deposits.Entities:
