Acute urticaria and angioedema are common clinical findings in children. Although the most common etiological factor is acute infection, drug and food allergies may also present with urticaria and angioedema. Although urticaria and angioedema have frequently been seen in severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections during the pandemic, underlying drug and food allergies should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis, and a detailed history should be taken from patients. This article presents two pediatric cases where the patients presented with angioedema occurring in the febrile period and had drug allergy concomitant with positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR test result.

SARS-CoV-2 Enfeksiyonu mu İlaç Alerjisi mi? Anjioödem ile Gelen İki Pediatrik Olgu Sunumu

Öz

Akut ürtiker ve anjiyoödem çocuklarda sık görülen klinik bulgulardır. En yaygın etiyolojik faktör akut enfeksiyon olmakla birlikte, ilaç ve gıda alerjileri de ürtiker/anjiyoödem ile ortaya çıkabilir. Ürtiker ve anjiyoödem, bu pandemi döneminde Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) enfeksiyonu sırasında sık görülmekle birlikte, altta yatabilecek ilaç ve besin alerjileri ayırıcı tanıda akılda tutulmalı ve hastalardan ayrıntılı öykü alınmalıdır. Bu yazımızda ateşli dönemde ortaya çıkan anjiyo-ödem nedeniyle başvuran ve SARS-CoV-2 PCR testi pozitif olup ilaç alerjisi tanısı alan iki pediatrik vaka sunulmuştur.
