Dermatologic findings in 2 patients with COVID-19

Abstract

The recent emergence of a novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has quickly developed into a global pandemic and public health emergency.1 Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) primarily produces fever and respiratory symptoms, although involvement of other organ systems has been reported, including cardiovascular and gastrointestinal manifestations.2 The cutaneous manifestations in COVID-19 are largely unknown but case reports and case series are accumulating in the literature.
