antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (anca)-associated glomerulonephritis in a 15-year-old patient after receiving the second dose of the bbibp-corv (sinopharm) covid-19 vaccine: a case report

Introduction:antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (anca)-associated vasculitis (aav) is a group of multisystemic autoimmune diseases that can involve organs such as kidneys and respiratory tracts. since the initiation of covid-19 vaccines, there have been few cases of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (anca) glomerulonephritis development after receiving vaccine doses.case presentation: this report describes a 15-year-old man who has developed anca-associated glomerulonephritis (aagn) after receiving the second dose of bbibp-corv (sinopharm) covid-19 vaccine. conclusions: development of aagn after both natural sars-cov-2 infection and following other vaccinations raises the question of the possible causality between the two. considering the widespread use of covid-19 vaccines, it is highly important to investigate their possible side effects.
