Skin involvement in SARS‐CoV‐2 infection: Case series

since the beginning of the well‐known SARS CoV‐2 pandemic, skin involvement both in adults and children has been signaled (1,2). However, large‐scale studies describing skin manifestations and their etiopathogenic correlation with COVID‐19 in detail have not been reported yet. Through the analysis o...

Description
Summary:since the beginning of the well‐known SARS CoV‐2 pandemic, skin involvement both in adults and children has been signaled (1,2). However, large‐scale studies describing skin manifestations and their etiopathogenic correlation with COVID‐19 in detail have not been reported yet. Through the analysis of emerging data from literature (3) and the direct observation of three patients with COVID‐19 (SARS‐CoV‐2 detection from nasopharyngeal swab samples through RNA extraction) and dermatological manifestations, we have hypothesized different mechanisms for their development.
