Abstract: While β-hemolytic streptococcus (β-HS) infections are known to predispose patients to acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis, there is evidence that implicates α-hemolytic streptococcus (α-HS) in IgA nephropathy (IgAN). The alternative pathway of the complement system has also… read more here.
