Abstract :
Children with immunological diseases like SLE are vulnerable to any type of infection, and their management is considered an
important issue in the COVID-19 pandemic. Here, we describe an 11-year-old female, previously known to have lupus nephritis, complaining
of tachypnea, persistent fever, low oxygen saturation (SaO2), and generalized edema with confirmed COVID-19 using sputum
PCR testing on the first day of admission.
