Abstract:
COVID-19 is a systemic disease characterized by vascular damage, increased inflammation, and hypercoagulability. Acral ischemic lesions occur as a result of increased inflammation and cutaneous thrombosis. Skin lesions can sometimes be the only symptom of COVID-19. In this respect, recognizing acro-ischemic lesions, which are skin lesions, may help in the early diagnosis of the disease and in predicting the prognosis. In patients with skin lesions without typical symptoms, the diagnosis of COVID-19 should be kept in mind. Herein, we describe five patients affected by COVID-19 which developed acro-ischemic lesions.
