452 case histories were analysed of patients with acute glomerulonephritis who were treated at the specialized unit of military hospital. 96.1% of these patients were enlisted men at the age of 18-20. Acute respiratory diseases had a great significance for etiological structure of acute glomerulonephritis. About 1/4 of all cases took place after the purulent affections of skin or subcutaneous fatty tissue. In the conditions of the Trans-Baikal region the clinical course of acute glomerulonephritis was basically represented by manifestative form of illness with pronounced swelling syndrome, arterial hypertension and typical changes in urine.
