To the editor:
With great interest, we read the recent reports of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) flare-up presenting as macroscopic hematuria, following the second dose of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination in adult patients.1, 2, 3, 4 The US Food and Drug Administration granted an emergency use authorization for the Pfizer–BioNtech COVID-19 vaccination in December 2020 for individuals aged ≥16 years; the emergency use authorization was recently expanded to include children aged 12 to 15 years on May 10, 2021. Herein, we report 2 pediatric patients with IgAN presenting with macroscopic hematuria <24 hours after Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination. Neither patient had COVID-19 infection before vaccination nor any history of reactions to any vaccinations. See Table 1 for clinical information.
