Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) is a viral disease first described in Wuhan, China, which has quickly emerged as a global pandemic with a myriad of manifestations including dermatologic (Li My et al., n.d.; Gottlieb and Long, 2020 [1,2]). A variety of cutaneous symptoms have presented throughout various stages of the disease (Marzano, 2020; Recalcati, n.d.; Henry et al., n.d.; Fernandez-Nieto et al., n.d.; Quintana-Castanedo et al., n.d. [3-5,7,8]). We describe a case of a female patient who presented with an Erythema Nodosum-like exanthema likely secondary to COVID-19. The patient described tested positive for COVID-19 three days prior to presentation for the rash with minimal other symptoms of COVID-19. Given the high infectivity rate as well as multisystem presentation, it is important to continue to report on novel presentations of the virus for early identification and treatment of complications.
2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)是一种最初在中国武汉发现的病毒性疾病,它迅速成为一种全球性大流行病,具有多种表现形式,包括皮肤科疾病(Li My 等人,未注明日期;Gottlieb 和 Long,2020 [1,2])。在疾病的各个阶段都出现了各种皮肤症状(Marzano,2020;Recalcati,未注明日期;Henry 等人,未注明日期;Fernandez-Nieto 等人,未注明日期;Quintana-Castanedo 等人,未注明日期[3-5,7,8])。我们描述了一例女性患者,其表现为结节性红斑样疹,可能继发于 COVID-19。该患者在出现皮疹前三天新冠病毒检测呈阳性,仅有 COVID-19 的极少数其他症状。鉴于高传染性和多系统表现,继续报告病毒的新表现对于早期识别和治疗并发症非常重要。
