Abstract

Coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) was declared as a pandemic viral infection by the World Health organization on March 11 2020. Usual clinical manifestations of COVID-19 infection include fever, fatigue, myalgia, headache, diarrhea, dry cough, dyspnea that may lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome and death (1). Skin symptoms of COVID-19 have been poorly described but may include erythematous rash, urticaria and chicken pox like lesions (2-7). Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a cellular receptor for COVID-19.
