    Urticaria is a common disease in children. But there are few case reportsin neonatal period. Urticaria has many causes, unfortunately it cannotbe figured out in some of the cases. Drug and food allergies, infectionsare common reasons that have been commonly shown. IgE-mediatedfood allergy should be considered in patients with acute urticaria and/orangioedema after food intake. Here we present a case of acute urticariadue to cow’s milk protein allergy in the newborn period. A 21-day-old malepatient was admitted to our emergency department with the complaintof widespread rash on the body which started one day earlier. Medicalhistory has revealed that he did not have a different drug intake beforethe onset of complaints, had no previous rashes, upper respiratory tractinfection or other infective-inflammatory disease since birth. His parentsdid not admit to another hospital. We obtained blood tests for food allergy.Total IgE: 38 IU/L and cow’s milk protein-specific IgE (f2): 2.26 kU/Lwere found to be suspicious for food allergy. According to these results,the formula which the baby was treated before has been stopped andextensively hydrolyzed formula has been started. After 12 hours, urticariahad started to fade. While going on our treatment, on 5th day the urticarialesions totally disappeared. Although urticaria is a common disease, it israrely reported in patients under six months. We want to emphasize thatfood allergies may be considered in cases presenting with urticaria inneonatal period.
