Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory disease that has been reported to have a wide array of extrapulmonary manifestations. Our knowledge regarding this virus is constantly evolving, and new literature is being published every day. Children usually have a mild severity of COVID-19 infection. A variety of skin lesions have been documented in this disease. Similarly, our 18-month-old patient who was diagnosed with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection had mild symptoms, but three days later he presented to the hospital with the development of urticarial lesions followed by angioedema. In this case report, we have attempted to highlight a possible association of angioedema and urticarial with coronavirus infection. Physicians should be aware of this association and should always inquire about symptoms of respiratory illness (SARS-CoV-2) while dealing with patients in whom a specific trigger for angioedema/urticaria is un-identifiable.
2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)是一种据报道有广泛肺外表现的呼吸道疾病。我们对这种病毒的认识在不断发展,每天都有新的文献发表。儿童感染COVID-19通常病情较轻。该疾病已记录有多种皮肤病变。同样,我们一名18个月大被诊断为严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)感染的患者症状较轻,但三天后因出现荨麻疹样病变继而发展为血管性水肿而入院。在本病例报告中,我们试图强调血管性水肿和荨麻疹与冠状病毒感染之间可能存在的关联。医生应意识到这种关联,在处理血管性水肿/荨麻疹病因不明的患者时,应始终询问其呼吸道疾病(SARS-CoV-2)症状。
