Abstract

She was diagnosed as relapsing nephrotic syndrome (NS) and Community Acquired Pneumonia due to 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 to relapsing NS in children.Seorang anak perempuan umur 8 tahun 2 bulan masuk rumah sakit karena edema anasarca selama 2 hari disertai batuk ringan dan sulit bernapas. Diagnosis adalah sindrom nefrotik relaps, pneumonia COVID-19, dan malnutrisi. Pasien dipulangkan setelah sindrom nefrotik remisi dan hasil PCR SARS-CoV-2 negatif.
