- This case adds to the limited evidence on managing this rare condition.

## Abstract

Both C‐anti‐neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) and P‐ANCA vasculitis were reported to be associated with COVID‐19 infection. The ideal management of COVID‐19‐associated ANCA vasculitis is unclear, as the experiences were limited to case reports. We presented a case of COVID‐19‐associated C‐ANCA vasculitis, successfully treated with steroids and rituximab therapy without any significant adverse reactions.
