The combination of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia and pulmonary-renal syndrome due to ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) poses diagnostic uncertainty and a therapeutic dilemma. According to current limited knowledge of COVID-19, the application of commonly used drugs in AAV, cyclophosphamide (CYC) and rituximab (RTX), must be weighed carefully in active COVID-19 infection. We report a case of a 52-year-old male patient with concurrent severe COVID-19 pneumonia and acute relapse of pulmonary-renal syndrome due to AAV after recent RTX maintenance dose. The patient presented with severe hypoxaemia, complete B-cell depletion and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 viraemia. He was successfully treated with therapeutic plasma exchange employing COVID-19 convalescent plasma.
