Treated with cetirizine, 12 weeks later, she was still having episodes of urticaria
The most likely diagnosis was CHRONIC SPONTANEOUS URTICARIA TRIGGERED BY SARS-CoV-2, but other considerations were urticarial vasculitis and chronic inducible urticaria.

#dermatology #Doctor
Urticaria is commonly triggered by viral & bacterial infections, including herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus, Epstein–Barr virus, HIV & mycoplasma.

It commonly precedes or occurs concurrently with COVID-19, but can rarely occur after symptoms have resolved.
