A Unique Set of Symptoms in the Background of SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Abstract

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.
