Autoantibody production is common in HIV-infected individuals. In this Case Study, Wechsler and colleagues describe a case of anti-glomerular basement membrane disease in a 55-year-old HIV-positive male. Treatment with steroids, intravenous immunoglobulin, mycophenolate mofetil and rituximab resulted in improved renal function and disappearance of the autoantibodies.
