The new coronavirus called SARS-Cov-2 has caused a severe outbreak of the disease called COVID-19. This virus was identified for the first time in Wuhan, China on December,2019. There were recently described its cutaneous manifestations, with clinical similarities among children and adults. There were identified five cutaneous patterns: macular-papular rash, hives, acral lesions pernicious type, vesicular rash and livedo reticularis.
Objective:
To characterize pediatric patients with cutaneous manifestations during COVID-19 disease.
Cases presentation:
There were studied 10 pediatric patients with COVID-19 admitted in ´´Comandante Manuel Piti Fajardo´´ Military Hospital of Villa Clara province. From the total of patients, eight presented eritemato-papular rash and two had urticariform rash. Urticariform lesions were present just in the girls, the eritomato-papulosa lesions presented similarly in both sexes with slight predominance in female adolescents. Both types of lesions appeared with predominance in the torso and accompanied of slight or absent pruritus. Just the urticariform lesions required medical treatment.
