| In 1908, C.F. Wahrer described an epidemic of hemorrhagic nephritis preceded by scarlet fever in 35 patients. Epidemics of nephritis continued in 1915 among British troops during World War I.<ref name="pmid13052693">{{cite journal| author=RAMMELKAMP CH, WEAVER RS| title=Acute glomerulonephritis, the significance of the variations in the incidence of the disease. | journal=J Clin Invest | year= 1953 | volume= 32 | issue= 4 | pages= 345-58 | pmid=13052693 | doi=10.1172/JCI102745 | pmc=PMC438348 | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=13052693 }} </ref> Clinical and pathological findings from both epidemics were similar.

| Acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis is thus considered the earliest nephritic syndrome to be described.
