C3 glomerulopathy associated with mycoplasma pneumoniae infection and positive IgA staining
Thus, MP infection can cause sustained activation of the CAP, leading to C3G. For patients with MP infection, if there is an ongoing decrease in complement C3 levels and a progressive increase in serum creatinine, it is crucial to be vigilant for possible C3G and to consider the use of immunosuppressive therapy in conjunction with anti-infective treatment to prevent the ongoing activation of the CAP.
