Acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN) and polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) may occur simultaneously after streptococcal infection in a child who is previously healthy but carries a Mediterranean fever (MEFV) mutation. The homozygous M694V mutation in the MEFV gene may cause an augmented response to the streptococcal infection that plays a role in the development of both clinical manifestations.
急性链球菌感染后肾小球肾炎(APSGN)和结节性多动脉炎(PAN)可能在先前健康但携带地中海热(MEFV)突变的儿童发生链球菌感染后同时出现。MEFV基因中的纯合M694V突变可能导致对链球菌感染的反应增强,这在两种临床表现的发展中起作用。
