Abstract

Since the outbreak of 2019 novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) 5,698,246 cases were infected with COVID-19, there were 352,461 deaths. Various characteristics of COVID-19 were presented but to our knowledge this is the first pediatric case, an eight year old boy, presenting like Steven Johnson Syndrome. In patients with atypical presentations and pulmonary findings COVID-19 should be kept in mind.
