AB  - Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a systemic 
      disease that causes vasculitis in various organs. Although the cause of the onset 
      is unknown, infection has been reported to be a causative factor. The subsequent 
      cytokine storm triggered by the immune response against SARS-CoV-2 infection has 
      been reported to lead to symptoms being more severe. We herein report our 
      experience with the onset of AAV following COVID-19 infection. We also report the 
      course of anti-SARS-CoV-2 serum antibody titers following induction therapy, 
      which suggests that vaccination and education concerning standard precautions are 
      necessary in patients who require immunosuppressive therapy, even after COVID-19 
      infection.
