Abstract

Nephrotic syndrome is a clinical syndrome characterized by heavy proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema and hyperlipidemia. Causes of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome include minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and mesangial proliferation. Other causes of nephrotic syndrome are rare genetic disorders and secondary diseases associated with drugs, infections, or neoplasia. Since February 2009, a swine-origin H1N1 influenza virus (S-OIV) from Mexico has been spread among humans in unexpected rapidity. S-OIV is markedly different from seasonal influenza, in that many of those affected are previously healthy young people. While pulmonary complications of S-OIV infection have been frequently documented, renal complications have not been as widely recognized. We report a case of 4 year-old boy who had developed nephrotic syndrome after S-OIV infection with good response after steroid treatment.

최근의 유행한 신종 H1N1 S-OIV는 전세계적으로 퍼지고 있고, 이에 동반된 호흡기 질환등의 여러 합병증들이 보고되었다. 신증후군은 간염바이러스 등의 감염 후에 발현될 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있으나 S-OIV 감염 후에 발생한 예는 보고된 적이 없는 실정이다. 저자들은 S-OIV 감염으로 확진된 환아에서 발생한 신증후군이 발생하였으나 스테로이드 치료로 쉽게 치료된 경험을 하였기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.
