Abstract
Cutaneous manifestations are considered an infrequent presentation of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and are mostly described in outpatient settings. Its onset during the course of the severe COVID-19 disease has been poorly described in severe cases. Studies focused on dermatological manifestations mostly described maculopapular or pernio-like lesions and less frequently vesicular or varicella-like eruption. We described the occurrence of a vesiculopapular eruption in three laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients associated with severe lung injury in whom the skin findings preceded viral reactivation and recrudescence of hypoxemia. The potential mechanisms for COVID-19-related cutaneous manifestations include immune hypersensitivity, cytokine-release syndrome, deposition of microthrombi, and vasculitis.
