Abstract

Extrapulmonary symptoms such as cutaneous manifestations are increasingly being reported in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. The rashes of COVID-19 are usually livedo and purpuric and have been classified into six main patterns. This is the first case reported in Malaysia of ecchymosis associated with COVID-19 occurring on a patient without prior history of coagulopathy. The report of this rare clinical association could have a potential pathophysiological implication and contributes to the current data of the cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19. Further knowledge regarding these cutaneous lesions could help in the diagnosis of COVID-19 related complications and earlier management.
