 AB    We report on a 28-year-old AIDS patient who developed a rapidly
       progressive glomerulonephritis while being treated with foscarnet for
       cytomegalovirus retinitis. Renal biopsy showed crescentic proliferation
       related to crystals within the glomerular capillaries. The role of
       foscarnet in this unusual renal syndrome is discussed.
