COVID-19, relapsing nephrotic syndromeAbstract
An 8-year and 2-month-old girl presented with generalized edema for two days with a mild cough and shortness of breath. She was diagnosed with a relapsing nephrotic syndrome (NS) and Community Acquired Pneumonia due to a COVID-19 infection. The patient was discharged with complete remission NS and repeated negative PCR for SARS-CoV-2 from nasopharyngeal swabs. It is important to consider COVID-19 infection as a likely trigger of relapsing NS in children.
