Figure 1
Renal biopsy sections showing mesangial expansion and hypercellularity in each of the glomeruli. Immunofluorescence microscopy showed marked granular positivity in the mesangium with a deposition of C3. These features of diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis and positive Immunofluorescence are diagnostic of immunoglobulin (Ig)A nephropathy.
Figure 2
Figure 2
Bronchial biopsy sections showing a well-formed epithelioid cell granuloma with surrounding lymphocytes. There is no caeseation, and no giant cells are present. The entire biopsy consisted of similar granulomata. Ziehl-Neelsen staining showed no acid alcohol fast bacilli. The presence of such granulomata is typical of sarcoidosis.
