[Nephrotic syndrome complicating treatment with interferon alpha].
UNLABELLED: We report two cases of nephrotic syndrome with minimal glomerular change complicating alpha-interferon therapy. CASE REPORTS: The first patient was a 60-year-old man with Waldenström's disease who was given 1 million units of alpha-interferon three times a week for 22 months. Acute renal failure developed when a second protocol was started. Renal biopsy revealed intraglomerular deposits and no cellular proliferation. Total remission could not be achieved with corticosteroids. The second case was a 46-year-old man given high dose alpha-interferon (15 million units 3 times a week) for lymph node metastasis of a malignant melanoma. A nephrotic syndrome without renal failure developed during the third month of treatment. Minimal glomerular involvement was seen. Symptomatic treatment led to resolution of the nephrotic syndrome. DISCUSSION: Nine other cases of nephrotic syndrome complicating alpha-interferon therapy have been reported in the literature.

[Acute interstitial nephropathy induced by vancomycin].
The authors report a case of tubulo-interstitial nephritis with acute renal failure due to vancomycin used to treat a patient with enterococcus endocarditis. Rechallenge with vancomycin several days after stopping the drug resulted in the appearance of a maculopapular rash and rapid onset of acute oligo-anuric renal failure. Renal biopsy revealed acute interstitial nephritis. This feature is suggestive of cellular mediated hypersensitivity.
