As we all know, Covid-19 is a deadly disease that belongs to a family of respiratory infections called coronaviruses.<\/p>\n

The first cases, combined with what scientists know about respiratory infections, led health bodies to compile a list of cold-like symptoms, such as cough and high temperature<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

However, as Covid-19 has appeared in different parts of the world, never-before-seen symptoms have come to light.<\/p>\n

A recent report in an Italian medical room found that twenty percent of patients had skin lesions, described as a rash, hives, or one case of lesions<\/strong> \u00abvaricella-like\u00bb<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Other case reports describe a rash mistaken for dengue, acral ischemia in children and critically ill patients, and urticaria.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One study, published in the British Journal of Dermatology<\/strong>has further investigated the effects of Covid-19 on the skin.<\/p>\n

The investigation revealed five main patterns and described each pattern in vivid detail.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

These were:\n<\/p>\n

1. Acral areas of erythema-edema with some vesicles or pustules (pseudo-chilblain) (19% of cases).<\/h2>\n
\n

Chilblains\/Archive<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

These injuries, affect the hands and feet<\/strong><\/span>they can look like chilblains<\/strong> (small itchy bumps on the skin) with small red or purple spots,<\/strong> caused by bleeding under the skin.<\/strong> They were generally asymmetrical.\n<\/p>\n

Associate with<\/strong>: the youngest patients<\/span><\/strong>lasted a mean of 12.7 days, occurred later in the course of the Covid-19 illness, and were associated with less severe disease<\/strong> (in terms of hospital admission, pneumonia, intensive care unit admission, or mortality). They can cause pain<\/strong><\/span> (32 percent) or itch <\/strong><\/span>(30 per cent).\n<\/p>\n

two . Other vesicular eruptions (9%).<\/h2>\n
\n

Chickenpox or Crystal Plague Blisters<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Vesicular eruptions are outbreaks of small blisters similar to those of the Crystal Plague or Chickenpox<\/strong><\/span>some of them presented in the trunk<\/strong>. They can also affect limbs, fill with blood, and become larger or more spread<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n

Associate with<\/strong>: the middle-aged patients<\/strong><\/span>lasted an average of 10.4 days, appeared more frequently (15%) before other symptoms<\/strong> and were associated with intermediate severity. Itching was common<\/strong> (68%).\n<\/p>\n

3. Urticarial lesions (19%):<\/h2>\n
\n

urticarial lesions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

These consist of pink or white raised areas of skin that resemble a nettle rash, known as hives<\/strong><\/span> (also spelled scars), which they usually itch<\/strong>. Mainly Distributed on the trunk or scattered throughout the body. Some cases were in the palms of the hands.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

4. Other maculopapules (47%).<\/h2>\n

maculopapules are small, flat, raised red bumps<\/strong>. In some cases, these were distributed around hair follicles<\/strong>there was also varying degrees of scaling<\/strong><\/span>. Some had been described as similar to the pityriasis rosea, a common skin condition<\/strong>. The blood spots under the skin may also be present, either in the form of spots\/spots or in larger areas<\/strong><\/span>.\n<\/p>\n

Associate with<\/strong>: last for a shorter period (mean 6.8 days for urticarial and 8.6 for maculopapular), usually appeared at the same time as the rest of the symptoms<\/strong> and associated with the most serious Covid-19 disease<\/span><\/strong> (2% mortality in the sample). Itching was very common in urticarial lesions (92 percent) and 57 percent in maulopapular lesions.\n<\/p>\n

5. Livedo or necrosis (6%).<\/h2>\n

Livedo is a skin condition in which circulation in the blood vessels of the skin is affected.<\/strong> Makes skin look blotched red or blue with a grid pattern<\/strong> (similar to a network). Necrosis refers to the premature death of skin tissue. <\/strong>These patients showed different degrees of injury,<\/strong> which suggests a occlusive vascular disease, where arteries are narrowed or blocked, limiting blood flow to certain areas of the body<\/strong> (in this case, the trunk or extremities).\n<\/p>\n

Associate with<\/strong>: older patients with more severe disease<\/strong><\/span> (10% mortality). However, the manifestations of Covid-19 in this group were more variable, including transient livedo, and some suffered from Covid-19 that did not require hospitalization.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
