Abstract
AbstractPrimary immunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV) is one the most common childhood vasculitis. A 5-year and 10-month-old girl child patient presented with confluent palpable purple red rash, mainly over both ankles. This was associated with edematous, tender ankles, limited range of movement, and inability to walk. A concomitant coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was documented by nasopharyngeal swab. This case suggested that COVID-19 can trigger IgAV in children. Hence, awareness of COVID-19 infection in IgAV should be present, and it may be useful to investigate COVID-19 as one of the causes of IgAV, especially in the presence of an epidemic.
