Occasionally skin lesions are seen. The etiology is not clear. Some writers state the belief that lipoid nephrosis is due to bacterial infection; others, that it is a purely metabolic disturbance affecting the entire body.As shown by us in a previous paper1 the prognosis of lipoid nephrosis is not good. A frequent cause of death is intercurrent pneumococcal peritonitis. In the present paper, nine cases of lipoid nephrosis in children are described; five of the patients died. These cases are interesting in that pneumococci or streptococci
