COVID-19 most related glomerular disease to date seems to be collapsing glomerulopathy, mostly in young Afroamerican patients with APOL1 gene risk alleles. However, in our population, predominant in elderly Caucasian patients, most biopsied pathology since the beginning of the pandemic has been IgA nephritis or Schönlein-Henoch purpura. Since the description of the first case of this entity after SARS-CoV-2 infection by our research group, three more cases have arisen, which are described in the following article. In contrast to the rest of IgA vasculitis cases reported, our patients presented more renal function deterioration and all of them required immunosupresive therapy. Moreover, some showed incomplete recovery of renal function. This case series strengthens the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 infection may be another trigger of this pathology.

[Clinical and pathological features of children with immunoglobulin A vasculitis with nephritis accompanied by different proportions of crescent formation].

Objectives: To investigate the impact of the different proportions of crescent formation on clinical manifestations and pathological features in children with immunoglobulin A vasculitis with nephritis (IgAVN).
Methods: The children with IgAVN were divided into no-crescent group (75 children), ≤25% crescent group (156 children), and >25% crescent group (33 children).
Results: Compared with the no-crescent group, the other two groups had significant increases in 24-hour urinary protein, urinary immunoglobulin G (IgG)/creatinine ratio, urine red blood cell count, fibrinogen, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, a significant reduction in serum IgG, and a significantly higher proportion of children with low albumin and hypercoagulability, pathological grade III+IV or diffuse mesangial proliferation (<0.

Objective: To describe presentation, treatment and outcome of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) associated-vasculitis in cancer patients in a multicentre study.
Methods: Thanks to the ImmunoCancer International Registry (ICIR), a multidisciplinary network focused on the research of the immune related adverse events related to cancer immunotherapies, patients presenting with a clinical and/or radiological suspicion of vasculitis, and histological evidence of vasculitis after being exposed to ICIs were retrospectively identified.
Results: Twenty eight cases were identified in the ICIR registry.

Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a rare and severe complication of IgA vasculitis (IgAV). Although glucocorticoids and immunosuppressive agents are used for its treatment, there is no consensus on the optimal form of treatment. We herein report the case of a 53-year-old, female patient with IgAV.
