Description

In individuals with the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, dermatologic indications are common and are sometimes the only signs of illness. Few incidences of urticaria eruption in children have been recorded. In this report, we describe a case of acute urticaria in a 1-year-old child that occurred after the onset of any other COVID-19 symptoms. In this case, the rapid testing and identification of SARS-CoV-2 infection was driven by the suspicion of a probable COVID-19-associated symptom.
