The spectrum of kidney disease among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients is extensive. We describe a young male who was recently detected with HIV infection and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) negative pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis. The patient had no extrarenal vasculitis involvement. Patient was successfully managed with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and oral steroids. In our case report, we have also reviewed the literature of crescentic glomerulonnephritis in HIV infection.
