Abstract

Minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) is more common among children. However, there is limited literature associating MCNS and COVID-19 infection. We present a 2 year old boy with anasarca who tested positive for COVID-19 prior to admission. Workup was consistent with nephrotic syndrome. He responded well to steroids and diuretics.
