However dysfunction in many organ systems including the kidneys has also been described. There are only a few reported cases of renal dysfunction in patients with legionellosis. Case presentation A 27-year-old Caucasian woman with known adult Still s disease was admitted to our hospital for community-acquired pneumonia due to Legionella infection with acute renal failure. Although her respiratory symptoms responded well to antibiotic treatment her renal function worsened with severe proteinuria and edema. A renal biopsy showed extracapillary and endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis with accompanying chronic and acute interstitial nephritis. This was consistent with a post-infection immunocomplex glomerulonephritis. After initiation of steroid therapy her renal function improved. Additionally therapy with diuretics and an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor was initiated because of persistent proteinuria. Under this treatment regimen her severe edema and proteinuria disappeared. Conclusion To the best of our knowledge there is only a handful of reported cases of post-infection glomerulonephritis with a nephrotic syndrome in a patient with legionellosis. Our findings suggest that in patients with Legionnaires disease with renal failure post-infection immunocomplex glomerulonephritis should be considered and steroid therapy may be an effective modality to treat the renal complication.
