[From a simple skin rash to kidney injury: A case of post-measles glomerulonephritis].

We report the case of a 17-year-old male with an unremarkable medical history, admitted for acute nephritic syndrome associated with acute renal failure. His presentation occurred three weeks after a generalized febrile cutaneous rash that had been diagnosed as measles. Renal biopsy revealed acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) with cellular crescents; the outcome was favorable under treatment. Measles is a highly contagious disease, and a resurgence in its prevalence has been observed worldwide, including in Morocco. Although the measles virus is known to be nephritogenic and may lead to AGN, its association with glomerular involvement remains uncommon and has been infrequently documented in the medical literature.
