ANCA vasculitis: A manifestation of Post-Covid-19 Syndrome

The SARS-CoV-2 infection has been found to present with different degrees of response and variable levels of inflammation. Patients who have recovered from the initial infection can develop long-term symptomatology. We present a unique case of a middle aged-healthy man who developed complications of...

description The SARS-CoV-2 infection has been found to present with different degrees of response and variable levels of inflammation. Patients who have recovered from the initial infection can develop long-term symptomatology. We present a unique case of a middle aged-healthy man who developed complications of ANCA-associated vasculitis after recovering from a mild COVID-19 infection.A previously healthy 53-year-old male presented with hemoptysis and acute renal failure. One month prior, the patient tested positive for COVID-19; not requiring hospitalization. Physical exam findings included bilateral lower extremity petechiae.
