Abstract

The article discusses the likely underestimated prevalence of pediatric acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) occurring alongside pneumonia, as illustrated by a recent cluster of three children with both conditions. It also discusses the varied and severe clinical presentations observed, the need for careful assessment of coexisting pulmonary and renal issues, and the potential increase in such cases that warrants greater clinical awareness.
