Postinfectious glomerulonephrltis is well known to occur after various infections but is rare in renal allografts, perhaps as a result of immunosuppressive therapy. This report describes a 47-year-old man who, seven years after receiving a cadaveric renal transplant, had biopsy-proved crescentic glomerulonephritls presenting with gross hematuria and rapidly progressive renal failure. The patient underwent cardiac surgery to define an abnormal structure shown on echocardiography, and a mycotic aneurysm of the left circumflex artery was discovered. Such aneurysms are uncommon and rarely diagnosed during life. This case appears to be the first report of glomerulonephritis associated with a mycotic aneurysm of a coronary artery and one of the few reports of postinfectious glomerulonephritis in a renal allograft.
