摘　　要：Infective endocarditis （IE） is associated with poor prognosis and higher mortality. IE-induced glomerulonephritis, especially crescentic glomerulonephritis （IE-CGN） with renal dysfunction, is an independent risk factor for mortality For the treatment of IE-CGN, many therapeutic strategies including antibiotics alone, antibiotics combined with corticosteroid, immunosuppressive agents, plasmapheresis, or cardiac surgery have been applied and obtained various results.C21 Here, we reported a case of CGN with progressive renal failure secondary to IE in which the renal function was dramatically improved by the treatment of surgical valve replacement and antibiotics.Infective endocarditis （IE） is associated with poor prognosis and higher mortality.
