Skin manifestations of COVID-19 and after COVID-19 vaccination

Hautarzt. 2022 Apr 27:1-7. doi: 10.1007/s00105-022-04991-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a systemic disease induced by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that frequently presents with skin manifestations. The five most common skin lesions are pseudo-chilblain and maculopapular, urticarial, vesicular, and livedo/necrotizing skin lesions. These skin lesions are of diagnostic and prognostic relevance. For example, in children, typical skin lesions may indicate a life-threatening inflammatory syndrome, which rarely occurs after corona infection. Skin lesions have also been described after COVID-19 vaccination. These usually show an uncomplicated, self-limiting course and therefore do not represent a contraindication for completing the vaccination status in the vast majority of cases.PMID:35477785 | PMC:PMC9045035 | DOI:10.1007/s00105-022-04991-w
