Overview

Effective measures for the primary prevention of post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis include improving hand hygiene, better housing, prevent overcrowding, treatment of an infected patient within 24 hours with antibiotics and prevent close contact. A 26-valent vaccine is recommended for children to prevent post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis.

Primary Prevention

  • Effective measures for the primary prevention of post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis include:
