Abstract
A case of acute rheumatic fever and glomerulonephritis following streptococcal throat infection is presented. The coincidence of rheumatic fever and post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis is uncommon, but well recognised. This case is of additional interest since the nephritis was crescentic.
