TI  - Urticaria due to Urtica dioica in a neonate.

AB  - Urticaria is one of the most common dermatoses during the childhood, but it is 
      very rare in the neonates. A 17-day-old infant with a generalized urticaria was 
      admitted to our pediatric emergency unit. The mother of the infant reported 
      having applied water boiled with stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) onto her nipples 
      twice a day (before and after each breastfeeding) for 2 days in order to heal her 
      nipple cracks. Serum total immunoglobulin E (IgE) and specific IgE levels for 
      stinging nettle were high in the infant and the mother. The rashes began to 
      regress within the first day of the hospitalization and disappeared completely on 
      the second day without treatment. The skin prick test with the water boiled with 
      stinging nettle was positive for the infant with significant induration, but not 
      for the mother. Conclusion Reporting the first urticaria case in newborns due to 
      stinging nettle, the authors suggest that breastfeeding mothers should always 
      consult a physician before using skincare products.
