Minimal change disease with podocyte-associated punctate polyclonal IgG deposits on kidney biopsy. (a) Normal appearing glomerulus on light microscopy (Jones methenamine silver; original magnification ×400). (b) Podocyte-associated punctate polyclonal IgG deposits on immunofluorescence microscopy (IgG; original magnification ×400), the staining of which is minimal as compared to that seen in membranous nephropathy. (c) No electron dense deposits were found on electron microscopy (original magnification ×4200).
