Vesiculopapular Eruptions Seen In two COVID-19 children: A Case Report

2020 
The COVID-19 pandemic which has ravaged the entire world since December of 2019 is still ongoing across all the continents. Children andadolescents have been relatively less affected than the elderly and young population, though the paediatric age groups are able to transmitinfections whilst being asymptomatic. Children are therefore an important demographic to observe for clues to disease transmission and remission.Mucocutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 have been reported across most European and Asian countries; with the adult population mostlyreviewed. Few findings in children worldwide and fewer in the African continent have been published. The chronology of skin rashes and their evolution provide a non- invasive diagnostic tool to a disease process as noted in most viral exanthems. We report cutaneous findings in two siblings in a family of 4 who developed skin rashes before and after a positive COVID-19 test result.
