Spontaneous remission of nephrotic syndrome associated with COVID-19 infection in an 8-year-old boy

Abstract

Viral infections particularly upper respiratory tract infections may trigger relapse of nephrotic syndrome. COVID-19 has also been reported to be related with relapses of nephrotic syndrome in a few pediatric cases. Spontaneous remission in our patient indicates the importance of close monitoring of patients before starting long term treatment with steroids.
