摘要：

This is the first case of nonprimary collapsing focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) associated with Loa loa filariasis, Loa loa micofilariae were detected on a blood smear after a patient presented with nephrotic syndrome (NS), microhematuria, and renal failure. The renal biopsy showed a collapsing glomerulopathy variant of FSGS, Microfilariae also were identified in renal microvasculature, including the afferent arterioles and the glomerular and peritubular capillaries.
