Abstract
As severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spreads worldwide, nonrespiratory manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are being reported with greater frequency. A variety of dermatologic eruptions associated with this viral infection have been recognized. Although urticaria has been reported several times in association with COVID-19, angioedema has rarely been reported. We present a case of angioedema and urticaria occurring in the setting of COVID-19 infection and review cases published in the medical literature.
