COVID-19
“A Novel Great Imitator” and Its Cause-Effect Relationship on the Skin- CrimsonPublishers

The
emergence of the new coronavirus in December 2019, the main actor in the
current COVID-19 pandemic and type 2 acute respiratory distress syndrome
(SARS-CoV-2), initially allowed elucidating the particular respiratory symptoms
of the disease that regularly it culminated in severe respiratory distress
requiring mechanical ventilation and caused death in a considerable percentage
of those infected. Over time, other symptoms were recognized, including the
appearance of skin lesions. Initial reports of skin manifestations were
documented by Italian dermatologists, probably because Italy was the first
European country to be severely affected by the pandemic. The general clinical
presentation, course, and outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children differ
from that in adults. In studies carried out during the first wave of the
pandemic, it was observed that from 20.4% to 45% of patients with confirmed
SARS-CoV-2 infection had presented skin manifestations, the maculopapular rash
being the most frequently described. Subsequently, other studies classified the
types of eruption attributable to the disease and related them to the stages
and severity of the infection [1-2].
