Abstract
According to the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation (2022) 12–13% of cases of COVID‑19 were registered among children. Currently, COVID‑19 is considered as a systemic disease characterized by both respiratory and extrapulmonary symptoms, including dermatological manifestations. According to a number of foreign authors, the frequency of skin manifestations in COVID‑19 in children ranges from 0.2% to 20.4% of cases. The literature presents a few cases of exanthema in children, characterized by livedo, spotted-papular, urticar, papulo-vesicular elements, which determines the relevance of this problem. The clinical case of coronavirus infection in a child demonstrated by us against the background of dermatological manifestations is associated with the reactivation of EBV infection, which is quite rare in the practice of a pediatrician, thereby may cause certain difficulties in conducting differential diagnosis with a number of other diseases.
