We present a patient who was found to have SARS-CoV-2 in kidney tissue several weeks following onset of TINU syndrome. Although simultaneous infection by SARS-CoV-2 could not be demonstrated at onset of symptoms, since no other etiological cause was identified, we hypothesize that SARS-CoV-2 might have been involved in triggering the patient's illness.
