The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has recently been found to cause cutaneous vasculitis in patients. Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a type of small and medium vessel vasculitis that is often associated with pulmonary issues and has been shown to raise diagnostic complications in COVID-19 infection. In this report, we discuss the first case of new-onset GPA in the setting of active COVID-19 infection. Symptoms often overlap between the two diseases, and while there is no current cure for COVID-19, rapid immunosuppressive initiation can be lifesaving for patients with GPA. Thus, this case is essential in expanding our current knowledge of COVID-19 and its many skin manifestations.
最近发现2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)可导致患者出现皮肤血管炎。肉芽肿性多血管炎(GPA)是一种中小血管血管炎,常与肺部问题相关,并且已证明在COVID-19感染中会增加诊断复杂性。在本报告中,我们讨论了在活动性COVID-19感染背景下首例新发GPA病例。这两种疾病的症状常常重叠,虽然目前尚无治疗COVID-19的方法,但对于GPA患者,迅速开始免疫抑制治疗可挽救生命。因此,该病例对于扩展我们目前对COVID-19及其多种皮肤表现的认识至关重要。
