We describe the cases of two immunocompetent children who developed mucositis with oral, ocular, and genital involvement during acute COVID-19 illness. The pattern of mucosal involvement with no other cutaneous involvement was consistent with reactive infectious mucocutaneous eruption (RIME). No other intercurrent infections or new medications were identified, suggesting that COVID-19 was causative. Both patients noted improvement with systemic corticosteroid therapy.
