Vasculitis is a rare disease in children, with IgA Vasculitis being its most common presentation. One condition that has been associated with the development of vasculitis is the invasion of the vascular endothelium by Strongyloides stercoralis in cases of hyperinfestation. Another condition that is not yet under-researched is the likely association of IgA vasculitis-like processes with SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 infection itself. It is presented the case of a four-year-old patient who healed with palpable purplish lesions to lower limb predominance, acute abdominal pain, and episodes of high digestive hemorrhage. Initially listed as a possible severe dengue and leptospirosis, but clinically and laboratorially associated with IgA vasculitis. It was SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG: Reactive. And in parasitological study was identified Strongyloides st...

Dengue and Leptospirosis are endemic metaxenic diseases that affect tropical and subtropical areas, mostly in underdeveloped countries. In addition to this, the COVID-19 pandemic is causing a great deal of damage to both the population and the health level. This is the case of a 13-year-old patient who had fever, gingival and intermenstrual bleeding, abdominal pain and shortness of breath. She had SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG positive rapid test, and positive serology NS1 for Dengue and IgM for Leptospira. In addition, non-contrast pulmonary tomography showed areas of consolidated and frosted glass at the base level, as well as cysturitis. Diagnoses of COVID-19 pneumonia, Dengue with warning signs and Leptospirosis were had. Therapeutics were based on fluid therapy according to diuresis and blood pressure, symptomatic, oxygen support, constant monitoring...
