Abstract
Authors report a 37-year-old Senegalese woman with no known history of nephropathy who was admitted for fever related to malaria, severe acute renal failure requiring dialysis with nephrotic syndrome. Biological examinations and bone marrow aspiration showed hemophagocytic syndrome. A kidney biopsy found a 'collapsing glomerulopathy' (CG). A protracted course of steroids yielded a complete, unexpected remission of the nephrotic syndrome and renal function was normal at 18 months.Entities:
