Erythema multiforme eruption due to SARS-COV 2: Case report.

INTRODUCTION

and importance: The COVID-19 is a global pandemic that is now responsible for more than 3 million deaths around the world. Its cutaneous manifestations in patients are being increasingly reported. This case brings additional data implementing the knowledge on the dermatological signs during COVID-19.

CASE PRESENTATION: We report a new pattern with erythema multiforme (EM) lesions in a healthy patient with COVID-19 infection and no other medical background.

CLINICAL DISCUSSION: We are facing challenging times in Dermatology. New information and cutaneous manifestations possibly related to COVID-19 are emerging every day. There are only a few case reports describing EM in patients with COVID-19.

CONCLUSION

We suggest that this EM might be another pattern of exanthem associated with COVID-19 infection. Further studies are needed to evaluate whether these lesions are associated with the virus, the drug intake or any other conditions.
