ABSTRACT

[ $beta$ ]-streptococci have been reported as an etiology of Henoch-$Sch{ddot{o}}nlein$ purpura(HSP), but the role of $beta$-streptococci in HSP is not yet confirmed. Our report of two HSP patients is as follows : Although the two patients' clinical symptoms resembled those symptoms of HSP, whereas serum $C_3$ decreased in one case, ASO titer increased in both cases and a histological examination of renal biopsy specimens revealed the fetures commonly described in poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis.

Key words: Poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis(PSGN)
