Abstract
Abstract We describe a case of a post vaccine immune
complex-mediated glomerulonephritis in an infant with
compound heterozygous mutations of C2 complement
component gene, which is the first such case in the literature.
The three and a half months old boy presented with
clinical and laboratory signs of nephritic syndrome and
was successfully treated with methylprednisolone. An explanation
of such a clinical picture may lie in the interaction
between C2 deficiency and vaccination.
