Abstract:
Infection is the most common complication of nephrotic syndrome in children.Serious infection leads to poor prognosis, and always deteriorates rapidly, especially in the infection of pneumocystis jeroveci and varicella.For the long-term use of steroid and immunosuppressor, patients with infection always have atypical clinical symptoms and the correct diagnosis is liable to be delayed.Therefore, it′s important to be well aware of medical histories, physical signs and associated laboratory tests.Timely control of infection and protection of renal function are the main principles of treatment in the children with nephrotic syndrome and serious infection.Meanwhile, daily health management should be strengthened for the patients to prevent the occurrence of infection.
