- Abstract
Last months have been marked by the global spread of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), responsible for the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic. Considering the positivity to COVID-19, the diagnostic hypothesis was urticaria triggered by viral infection. Moreover, interestingly, patient sample ranged from 25 to 87 years, and any infant patients were included.5 In addition, Recalcati et al evidenced that 18 of 88 COVID-19-positive patients analyzed (20.4%) developed cutaneous lesions in course of the disease; urticaria was diagnosed in three cases.6 In conclusion, we suggest to consider SARS-CoV-2 infection as a potential cause of urticaria in asymptomatic pediatric patients, the unknown carriers of the infection.
