N2  - A 7-year-old boy experienced recurrent attacks of acute renal failure over an 18 month period. Each attack was accompanied by a fluorescent yellow discoloration of his urine. Laboratory data and the kidney biopsy were consistent with acute tubulo-interstitial nephritis. Repeated contacts with the boy in a play setting and thorough toxicologic examination of his urine finally led to the conclusion that the mother systematically poisoned her child with glafenin. The clinical and experimental literature on glafenin-related disease is reviewed. This is the first report of glafenin intoxication in a child. This is also the first case of kidney disease as an expression of child abuse.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
