Glomerulus with focal fibrinoid necrosis (A, hematoxylin-eosin), another glomerulus with fibrinoid necrosis, which can be seen as the pink argyrophobic area in the silver stain (B, Jones methenamine silver). Glomerulus with partial cellular crescent formation (C, hematoxylin–eosin stain), another glomerulus with extensive extracapillary proliferation filling the Bowman space and part of a tubule filled with a red blood cell cast (D, hematoxylin–eosin stain). Accompanying interstitial inflammation with abundance of eosinophils (E, hematoxylin–eosin stain). Immunofluorescence microscopy showing lineer IgG along the glomerular basement membrane (F).
