Weber-Christian panniculitis with membranous glomerulonephritis

A case of Weber-Christian panniculitis is described in which an acute phase of the disease was accompanied by the presence of circulating immune complexes, elevated serum levels of IgA and IgM, and membranous glomerulonephritis, with concomitant spontaneous remission of both diseases. This case rein...

Zusammenfassung:	A case of Weber-Christian panniculitis is described in which an acute phase of the disease was accompanied by the presence of circulating immune complexes, elevated serum levels of IgA and IgM, and membranous glomerulonephritis, with concomitant spontaneous remission of both diseases. This case reinforces the view that an immunologic dysfunction may be involved in the pathogenesis of Weber-Christian panniculitis.
