Abstract

Diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis without IgA deposits (DPGN) in patients with pustulosis palmaris et plantaris (PPP) is described. This association has not been previously reported. Although PPP was resolved transiently after tonsillectomy, it was worsened coincidently at the time of exacerbation of DPGN. Improvement of proteinuria and PPP was observed after antiplatelet therapy. It was suggested that the renal manifestation and the development of PPP were associated.
