RÉSUMÉ
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) is a systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by antibodies directed against small- and moderate-sized vessels. While there are few reported cases of autoimmune illnesses associated with influenza vaccination, two cases of de-novo anti-proteinase (PR3) ANCA-associated pauci immune glomerulonephritis are reported after the mRNA-1273 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine. Here, we report the third case of ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis after the mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine. Our patient presented with acute kidney injury and sub-nephrotic proteinuria four days after receiving the second dose of the COVID vaccine. He was found to have elevated c-ANCA and anti-PR3 antibodies. Renal biopsy confirmed focal necrotizing and diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis. He was diagnosed with pauci immune glomerulonephritis. The patient achieved remission 10 weeks after the diagnosis with successful treatment.
