Abstract:
The novel coronavirus of 2019 (COVID-19) can affect multiple organ systems with a wide spectrum of illness severity. 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. An unusual subgroup of these manifestations - pseudo-chilblains, also referred to as pernio-like lesions or 'COVID toes' - describes the acral areas of erythema and oedema that can affect young individuals following COVID-19. We present a case associated with pustule and vesicle formation occurring in the context of pregnancy.
