Abstract
UNDER the term glomerular thrombosis we report briefly two cases that have certain similarities to the cases of symmetrical necrosis in that the intrarenal blood flow is interrupted but differ from them in that the site of the circulatory obstruction is clearly in the glomeruli and the mechanism consists in the formation of thrombi in the glomerular capillary loops. The condition, which seems to represent a complication of certain severe bacteremias and appears to depend on the presence of micro-organisms within the glomerular capillaries, has received little attention since Blackman and Rake 1 described it under the title acute pneumococcal nephritis.
