A comparative study was made of 25 patients (Group 2, control) with documented pyelonephritis and 55 patients (Group 1) who had a morphological picture of chronic interstitial inflammation without signs of abnormal urodynamics, bacteriuria, urographic and sonographic evidence of pyelonephritis. All the patients underwent life-time morphological study, their immunological spectrum (IgA, IgG, IgM, IgE) was explored. They had a test for sensitization of a peripheral blood mononuclear fraction to one or several drugs which had been given to the patients. The patients from Group 1 displayed significantly elevated IgE levels and a regularly detected sensitization of mononuclears to one or several drugs. Morphologically, there were signs of congenital renal tissue dysplasia in the presence of diffuse interstitial inflammation. Positive immunofluorescence findings were seen in the tubular wall of 10 (18%) patients. The findings made it possible to define diagnostic criteria for interstitial nephritis, a nosological entity.

The local appearance of various immunoglobulin (Ig) isotypes in the urinary tract during ascending pyelonephritis was studied in rats experimentally infected with Corynebacterium renale. The indirect fluorescent antibody assay was used to detect IgG, IgM, IgA, IgE, and C3 on C renale present in the urine of the experimental animals. Corynebacterium renale coated with IgM and IgG antibodies was found beginning on the 4th day after induced infection, with IgG being the more abundant isotype. Coating with IgA occurred as early as the 4th day, but was less dense than coating with IgG. The presence of C3 on C renale was concurrent with IgM and IgG coating. A significant quantity of IgE could not be identified on antibody-coated C renale. Thus, IgG is the major component of the humoral immune response in this model of ascending pyelonephritis. The IgM early during infection and IgA later during infection seem not to be a major component of the immune response in this model.

To define the likelihood of development of adverse reactions and complications due to vaccination, the authors conducted clinical and laboratory studies of 115 children aged 1 to 15 years with chronic pathology (allergic diseases, pyelonephritis, immunodeficiency states), vaccinated with diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and pertussis vaccine and diphtheria and tetanus-M anatoxin and revaccinated with diphtheria and tetanus-M anatoxin. The results of the study suggested the prognostic value of allergic reaction indicators (total IgE, DA- and CA-specific IgE, vaccine sensitization detected by the basophil degranulation test) against adverse events and complications of immunization. Vaccination in children with chronic pathology in the presence of higher parameters of allergic reactions, by using hyposensitization therapy, was followed by to the formation of tense antidiphtheria and antitetanus immunity. The given data support the immunological efficiency and safety of immunization of children with chronic diseases against diphtheria and tetanus provided that hyposensitization therapy is performed, by keeping in mind the results of prior clinical and laboratory studies.

Kidney disease due to Aspergillus fumigatus is a rare finding in hyper-IgE syndrome. We report a patient with autosomal dominant hyper-IgE syndrome, recurrent pneumonia, and acute necrosuppurative pyelonephritis caused by Aspergillus fumigatus with a fatal outcome. We emphasize the severity and the difficulties in the management of renal complications that could be limiting the survival of these patients.
