SANTOS, Isabele Oliveira et al. Urticaria Multiforme in a Child: A Case Report. Rev Soc Port Dermatol Venereol [online]. 2020, vol.78, n.4, pp.74-78.  Epub Sep 10, 2021. ISSN 2182-2395.  https://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.78.4.1228.

Urticaria multiforme is an acute hypersensitivity reaction which can be considered a morphological subtype of urticaria.

It is more common in children and as its clinical presentation resembles other pathologies such as erythema multiforme, urticarial vasculitis and serum-sickness-like reaction, it has been often underdiagnosed. We report a case of a 1-year and 9-month-old child with exuberant skin lesions associated with systemic manifestations with complete and quick recovery after H1-antihistamines and iv steroids in an intensive care unit.
