Morbilliform exanthem associated with COVID-19
David James Najarian
Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is causing a rapidly expanding pandemic. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's website describes fever, cough, and shortness of breath as the primary symptoms of the disease, but it does not describe cutaneous manifestations of the illness. Understanding how COVID-19 might present on the skin may help practitioners and patients recognize and manage the disease more effectively.
