Abstract

We are presenting the case of purpuric rush in 5-year-old girl, who had asymptomatic Covid 19 infection prior to clinical manifestation of vasculitis. This emphasizes that vasculitis could be the manifestation of Covid-19 in acute phase and 4-6 weeks after the infection. Children with vasculitis should be tested for the association with Covid-19.
