Abstract

In mid 2020, the number of new coronavirus (COVID-19) cases has exceeded globally six million. The clinical manifestations of COVID-19 infection are numerous mostly causing damage to the bronchopulmonary system in the form of a dry cough, rhinitis, dyspnea, fever, myalgia, and general weakness. Skin manifestations of COVID-19 are rare and currently include five types of skin lesions occurring during the infection process, which are reliably recorded in only a limited number of case reports and certain analytical publications. This article describes the clinical case of a 28-year-old patient with urticaria-like disseminated rash and confirmed COVID-19-associated pneumonia.
