Abstract | Background: Perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (P-ANCA) are associated with a multisystem vasculitis affecting small blood vessels in the body. A handful of adult patients who developed vasculitis post-COVID-19 have been reported. Although SARS-CoV-2 has been shown to drive an exaggerated immune response in the pediatric population, such as in Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C), only one case of vasculitis following COVID-19 has been reported previously in children. Case presentation: Seventeen-year-old male with a past medical history of COVID-19 pneumonia two months prior presented with acute kidney injury and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage. Rheumatologic workup revealed P-ANCA and Myeloperoxidase (MPO) positivity. Kidney biopsy showed necrotizing glomerulonephritis with limited immune complex deposition. Subsequently, he was treated with steroids and plasmapheresis, and ultimately started on cyclophosphamide. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this report presents the second reported pediatric case of P-ANCA/MPO vasculitis following COVID-19. |
