A Singular Petechial Plantar Rash in a Patient With a Confirmed COVID-19

Several singular cutaneous manifestations have been recently reported in patients with confirmed or suspected coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Acral chilblain-like lesions, as well as purpuric macules, have already been characterized. We illustrate a case of a 100-year-old man who was diagnosed with COVID-19 and presented an acral petechial rash some weeks after his respiratory infection. We suggest that it could represent a novel variant of cutaneous manifestations associated to this viral infection, possibly related to a delayed immunological reaction.
