Abstract
- Background: COVID‐19 has been linked to a variety of dermatological conditions. Objective: To determine the presence of various cutaneous manifestations in patients with COVID‐19, also to define their features in relation to the systemic symptoms. Methods: This research enrolled a total of 1206 lab‐confirmed COVID‐19 individuals at a tertiary‐care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan. Expert dermatologists assessed patients for COVID‐related skin conditions. COVID‐19 severity was categorized as asymptomatic/mild, moderate, or severe. Results: Of the 102 (85.7%) patients with only one cutaneous sign, 26.5% developed maculopapular/morbiliform/erythematous rash; 14.7% urticaria; 9.85% vesicular/pustular exanthem; 14.7% vascular pattern; 12.7% infections, 7.8% miscellaneous and 9.8% late cutaneous findings A longer‐lasting vascular pattern was related with an older age and a fatal COVID‐19 outcomes (P: 0.000) compared with mild/moderate disease. Most of the retiform purpura presented exclusively with thromboembolic episodes. The moderate severity was correlated with maculopapular/morbiliform/exanthematous phenotype (P: 0.009), whereas urticaria was attributed to asymptomatic/mild disease (0.001) compared with moderate/severe infection. Limitations: Single‐Center and observational study. Conclusion: Vascular lesions were correlated with disastrous COVID‐19 outcomes, whereas retiform purpura was linked to adverse outcomes. The maculopapular/morbiliform/erythematous rash was associated with moderate severity, while the urticarial rash was linked to milder course compared with moderate/severe severity infection.
