Eight hundred and sixty four children were admitted with Acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN) at the Institute for Child Health, Madras, during the period January 1981 to January 1983. Majority of the cases followed infected scabies or impetigo. 135 children were investigated and followed up for a period of 1-2 years. The disease had an excellent prognosis in these children. None of those examined 2 years after discharge had proteinuria or hypertension. Group A beta hemolytic streptococcus (BHS) was isolated in 13.4% of patients and 11.25% of skin infection controls. Eight different T types were identified in patients and 6 T types in pyoderma cases. All patients and 87% of skin infection controls had elevated anti-D Nase B titres, while ASO titres were not significantly raised.

Acute postinfectious glomerulonephritis (GN) secondary to scabies were mainly documented as early as in 1980s, and in all these published cases no histopathological evidence of renal biopsy were reported regarding scabies and renal damage. The delay in scabies treatment can result in a greater risk of secondary bacterial infections that can become invasive and/or lead to severe post-infective complications such as post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis. In diagnostic procedures, the clinical presentation of scabies is often atypical especially in elderly people patients. However, early diagnosis is necessary to prevent disease progression. Here, we present a case of acute glomerulonephritis caused by scabies in a 79-year-old male patient who presented with papular rash, asthma, haematuria, proteinuria, hypertension and variable azotaemia. The aim is to provide more details of the clinical features and the histopathologic characteristics, and to increase the vigilance among physicians in patients with acute GN.
