Abstract
An unusual case of reversible reactive amyloidosis (AA) is described. A patient in the course of lobar pneumonia developed acute transient n ephrotic syndrome and renal failure. Renal and liver biopsy showed amy loidosis and positive immunohistochemistry stains for amyloid A protei n. The nephrotic syndrome resolved completely following 6 months of co lchicine treatment and the urine is protein free after 6 years of foll ow-up.
