We report a case of @entity8 with @entity3254 that was treated with @entity134 pulse therapy combined with tonsillectomy. A 27-year-old female was referred to our hospital because of @entity811 and @entity644 . Her urinalysis showed mild @entity644 (0.7 to 0.9 g/day) with dysmorphic red blood cells and cellular casts. Her serum @entity1011 level was within the normal range. Renal biopsy specimens revealed mild @entity7622 with cellular crescent and adhesion of glomeruli to the Bowman's capsule. Tubulointerstitial changes including mononuclear cell infiltration and tubular atrophy were also observed. Immunohistochemical staining of IgA and C3 was detected in the mesangial area, leading to the diagnosis of @entity8 . She had a past history of @entity3254 at 13 years of age and had taken antituberculosis drug for one and a half year. Although treatment with angiotensin receptor antagonist was started, the amount of @entity644 was not changed. @entity134 pulse therapy with tonsillectomy followed by oral @entity617 20 mg/day was conducted. @entity644 and @entity811 gradually decreased. Her respiratory status and chest X-ray had been closely followed up by her respiratory physician. After one and a half years of treatment with low-dose @entity617 , her urinalysis became almost normal. Recurrence of @entity378 was not observed during the follow-up period. The successful outcome of this case encouraged us to treat @entity8 with a past history of @entity378 using interventions including @entity134 pulse therapy.
