Abstract Background This is a case report of an asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection associated with new-onset nephrotic syndrome in a pediatric patient. This is the third case of new-onset nephrotic syndrome in children associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, but is the first case report describing a new-onset nephrotic syndrome presentation in a patient who had asymptomatic COVID-19 infection. Case presentation This is a case of a previously healthy 5 year old female who presented with new-onset nephrotic syndrome in the setting of an asymptomatic COVID-19 infection. She presented with progressive edema, and laboratory findings were significant for proteinuria and hypercholesterolemia. She was treated with albumin, diuretics, and corticosteroid therapy, and achieved clinical remission of her nephrotic syndrome within 3 weeks of treatment. Though she was at risk of hypercoagulability due to her COVID-19 infection and nephrotic syndrome, she was not treated with anticoagulation, and did not develop any thrombotic events. Conclusions Our case report indicates that SARS-CoV-2 infection could be a trigger for nephrotic syndrome, even in the absence of overt COVID-19 symptoms.

This case report demonstrates signs of uveitis and difficulties of the differential diagnosis of sarcoidosis as the cause of uveitis. A 57-year-old woman, who had visual loss in her both eyes, developed bilateral panuveitis: bilateral precipitates on the cornea with posterior synechia and infiltrates in the vitreous, and multifocal, peripheral retinochoroiditis. Chest X-ray revealed an infiltrate and numerous smaller granulomas in both lungs. The presumptive diagnosis was tuberculosis, however, biopsy of the pulmonal lesion showed sarcoidosis. Pulmonary and ophthalmologic findings rapidly disappeared with corticosteroid therapy. The author concludes that sarcoidosis may present with different signs of uveitis. Histopathology is of great importance for the differentiation between sarcoidosis and tuberculosis, which is very important for the therapy. Orv. Hetil., 154(45), 1798–1801.

We report a case of involvement of a finger flexor tendon by sarcoidosis. A review of twelve cases suggests that this is a rare manifestation of the illness that most often affects the finger extensors at the wrist. It tends to present in established sarcoidosis and is associated with a higher than usual incidence of polyarthritis. The main differential diagnosis would be tuberculous tenosynovitis. We suggest that a histological spectrum exists running from a predominantly cellular picture to one of fibrotic nodules, perhaps explaining previously described instances of pseudo-tumour. We would recommend tenosynovectomy in conjunction with corticosteroid therapy as the treatment of choice.
