Spontaneous rupture of the kidney in a patient with acute autoimmune disease.

A percutaneous renal biopsy was performed on a 50-year-old female with rapidly progressive renal failure. The histologic specimen was characteristic of an immune complex disease, most likely systemic lupus erythematosus. Serologic tests were negative. 8 days after the biopsy, there was a spontaneous rupture of the kidney which necessitated nephrectomy. As no connection was found between the biopsy site and the rupture, it was concluded that the rupture was spontaneous in a patient with an immune complex disease.

Unusual clinical presentation of acute sarcoidosis.

A 16-year-old male developed fever and productive cough of 2 months' duration. Extensive search for an infectious process was negative. After appearance of knee joint effusion, a transbronchial biopsy through a fiberoptic bronchoscope revealed histological findings consistent with sarcoidosis. The patient recovered after a course of prednisone therapy. The atypical presentation of this systemic disease caused considerable delay in diagnosis and initiation of treatment.
