Acute diffuse glomerulonephritis has as a most frequent cause in pediatrics, infection by hemolytic β Streptococcus of Group A. Of patients with post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis, 95% evolve well with or without treatment and few present serious complications during the condition. The objective of this report is to provide a pediatric case of acute diffuse glomerulonephritis post infectious by Streptococcus pyogenes that evolved with complications of hypertensive encephalopathy. It is of paramount importance to pay attention to post-streptococcal glomerulonephrites, because even though most evolve satisfactorily, there is the possibility of more aggravating complications related to the pressure uncontrollable ness of patients.
