Hypocomplementemic Urticarial Vasculitis Syndrome with Membranous Nephropathy: Case Report.
We present the case of a teenage boy with hypocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis syndrome (HUVS) that occurred shortly following swine-origin influenza A virus infection in 2009. Afterwards, HUVS was systemically complicated with myositis and membranous nephropathy that developed several months and about 2 years after its onset, respectively. A combination of glucocorticoid and immunosuppressive agents has been used to effectively control disease activity.
