Abstract
To date, sarcocystis has been considered an asymptomatic infection in humans.
Even though cases with glomerulonephritis have been reported in animals with
sarcocystis, there have been no reports of a similar occurrence in humans.
We report a case of acute proliferative glomerulonephritis and leukocytoclastic
vasculitis in a patient with sarcocystis infestation.
