The outbreak of the pandemic Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by a novel coronavirus named Severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), affecting a high number of patients in Italy, forced a great number of doctors, even dermatologists, to work in the first lines in the dedicated departments. We analyzed the features and the incidence of dermatological issues emerged during the hospitalization due to COVID-19 and absent before.
All the SARS-CoV-2 positive patients hospitalized in Celio Military Hospital - COVID hub no-intensive care wards from March 16, 2020 until May 4, 2020 were evaluated by dermatologists several times during the hospital stay.
Ninety-six patients (15 civilians and 81 Italian servicepeople) were enrolled: 34 (35.4%) patients developed cutaneous manifestations; 15 (16.0%) suffered from skin dryness; 5 (5.2%) irritant contact dermatitis; 4 (4.2%) seborrheic dermatitis; 4 (4.2%) morbilliform rashes; 3 (3.1%) petechial rashes and 3 (3.1%) widespread hives.
A deeper knowledge of cutaneous manifestations in military and civilian hospitalized COVID-19 patients could suggest more effective treatments to win the battle against SARS-CoV-2.
由新型冠状病毒 SARS-CoV-2 引起的大流行性冠状病毒病 2019（COVID-19）的爆发，影响了意大利大量的患者，迫使大量医生，甚至皮肤科医生，在专门部门的第一线工作。我们分析了因 COVID-19 而住院且之前未出现的皮肤科问题的特征和发生率。
2020 年 3 月 16 日至 2020 年 5 月 4 日期间，皮肤科医生多次评估了 Celio 军事医院 - COVID 中心非重症监护病房住院的所有 SARS-CoV-2 阳性患者。
共纳入 96 名患者（15 名平民和 81 名意大利现役军人）：34 名（35.4%）患者出现皮肤表现；15 名（16.0%）皮肤干燥；5 名（5.2%）刺激性接触性皮炎；4 名（4.2%）脂溢性皮炎；4 名（4.2%）麻疹样皮疹；3 名（3.1%）瘀点皮疹和 3 名（3.1%）广泛荨麻疹。
对住院 COVID-19 患者的皮肤表现有更深入的了解，可以为对抗 SARS-CoV-2 提供更有效的治疗方法。
