Article Synopsis
  • This systematic review aimed to analyze the prevalence and characteristics of skin manifestations associated with COVID-19, as these can assist in diagnosis, especially since the details were unclear.
  • The review included 31 studies with over 10,000 patients and found that the overall prevalence of skin manifestations was about 29%, predominantly observed in Africa, with hands, feet, and trunk being most affected.
  • Patients with milder COVID-19 symptoms showed more specific skin conditions compared to those with severe cases, indicating that skin assessments should be a key part of evaluating and diagnosing COVID-19, particularly in adults and the elderly.

Its effect on the respiratory tract is well-documented and has resulted in considerable excess mortality worldwide. However, observed cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 are rising, ranging from short-lived viral exanthems to vesicular eruptions and urticaria.

The currently available coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines in South Korea include mRNA (Moderna and Pfizer) and adenoviral vector (AstraZeneca and Janssen) vaccines. Dermatologic side effects of COVID-19 vaccines range from local injection site reactions to systemic eruptions, including morbilliform rashes or erythema multiforme. Pernio-like lesions, one of the most common cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19, have been rarely reported post-vaccination.

Article Synopsis
  • Cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 in African populations are under-researched and might help in early diagnosis and prognosis of the disease.
  • A literature review from December 2019 to March 2023 highlighted various skin lesions like multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS), showing differences based on severity and country.
  • The study found that certain health conditions (like obesity and diabetes) are associated with these skin manifestations, which can emerge early, potentially aiding in the identification of COVID-19 cases.

Background: Despite the large number of articles published on skin lesions related to COVID-19, clinicopathological correlation has not been performed consistently and immunohistochemistry to demonstrate spike 3 protein expression has not been validated through RT-PCR.

Material And Methods: We compiled 69 cases of patients with confirmed COVID-19, where skin lesions were clinically and histopathologically studied. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and RT-PCR was performed in skin biopsies.
