New coronavirus infection (COVID-19) associated with kidney infarction in a seventeen-year-old child

In December 2019, a new SARS-CoV-2 virus, called COVID-19, was identified in the Wuhan province of China, the spread of which determined the development of a pandemic. The lack of publications with evidence-based clinical studies dictate the necessity to cover various, including rare, pathological effects of the virus on the human body and the subsequent effect on it. Nowadays, there is already evidence that the SARS-CoV-2 virus causes specific damage to the vessels (endothelium), myocardium, and kidneys. The pathophysiologic mechanisms leading to acute kidney injury during COVID-19 infection are unclear, but may be due to direct exposure of the kidney tubules and endothelial cells to the virus. We present a clinical case of a kidney infarction in a 17-year-old girl with a severe course of a new coronavirus infection. At the time of the description of this clinical case, there are no publications on COVID-19 associated with kidney infarction in children in the Russian and foreign literature which is available to us.
