Although much is still unknown about the full effects of Covid-19, the literature supports a post-viral immunological reaction leading to multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C).
Case report 1: This presentation discusses a 10-year-old Canadian girl in good general health, exposed to covid via her mother, confirmed with positive PCR and presented several symptoms for a period of 2 days ( dry cough, fever, sore throat). 3 weeks later, she develops external signs on the arms, chest and neck, as well as on the oral mucous membranes and on the tongue.
Case 2: This is an 8-year-old boy, tested positive with PCR two weeks. No lesions were noticed on the rest of the body.
Numerous petechiae were observed in both cases.
Despite increasing reports of skin rashes in patients with COVID-19, establishing an etiological diagnosis is difficult. However, the presence of petechiae is a strong clue suggesting a viral etiology rather than a drug reaction. The aim of this study was to report the oral, oropharyngeal and cutaneous manifestations observed in two patients declared positive for Covid-19 and to establish a correct etiological diagnosis.
