[h=1]Acute Kidney Injury Following Plastic Bronchitis Associated with Influenza B Virus in a Child with Nephrotic Syndrome.[/h] Fujinaga S[SUP]1[/SUP], Hara T.
[h=3]Author information[/h]
[h=3]Abstract[/h] [h=4]BACKGROUND:[/h] Plastic bronchitis is a rare but life-threatening disorder and is usually associated with congenital heart disease or pulmonary disease.
[h=4]CASE CHARACTERISTICS:[/h] A 5-year-old boy with minimal change nephrotic syndrome who developed a relapse along with cough, fever and dyspnea.
[h=4]OBSERVATION:[/h] Chest X-ray showed atelectasis of right upper lobe of lung, and nasal swab was positive for influenza B virus. His respiratory condition worsened, and required ventilation; bronchoscopy revealed bronchial casts. This was followed by acute kidney injury which was successfully managed with hemodialysis.
[h=4]MESSAGE:[/h] Children with nephrotic syndrome on immunosuppressive agents can develop plastic bronchitis and acute kidney injury, following influenza virus infection.
