Abstract

We present a case of a young man with known lupus nephritis who came to us with a flare of lupus nephritis and superimposed COVID-19 infection. He received intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) that resulted in clinically and biochemically improvement. He was discharged to home well. Future reports are needed to show the relations between COVID-19 infection and lupus nephritis.
