Erythema nodosum (EN) is a common dermatological manifestation with many different aetiologies. Often however, the aetiology remains unidentified. We present here a 42-year-old male patient with an EN that is due to an acute COVID-19 infection. Most of the usual aetiologies were excluded by laboratory testing and imaging studies. This case is, to our knowledge, the first report of this cutaneous manifestation in the context of a COVID-19 infection. The EN was successfully treated with the disappearance of the COVID-19 infection and topical corticosteroids.
结节性红斑(EN)是一种常见的皮肤病表现,病因多样。然而,病因往往不明。我们在此介绍一名42岁男性患者,其结节性红斑由急性新冠病毒感染引起。实验室检查和影像学研究排除了大多数常见病因。据我们所知,该病例是新冠病毒感染背景下这种皮肤表现的首例报告。随着新冠病毒感染消失以及外用糖皮质激素治疗,结节性红斑成功治愈。
