Characterization of herpetic lesions in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.”	2020-06-22		.txt	text/plain	538	40	59	All 15 patients presented typical clinical lesions and symptoms of herpes 39 simplex/zoster. In spite of performing PCR tests for SARS-CoV-2 from the 42 content of the vesicles in only three patients, the results were all negative. Regarding vesicular rashes or varicella-like COVID-19 exanthems 3 , we previously 44 reported four cases in which we performed both PCR multiplex for herpesvirus and rt-45 PCR for SARS-CoV-2, directly from the content of the vesicles. This reasonably rules out a role of herpes 47 viruses 3 , and a potential infective ability of SARS-CoV-2 through the vesicles. In our current experience, the diagnosis of 55 herpesvirus infection in COVID-19 patients does not usually involve diagnostic doubts, 56 due to the clinical presentation and reported symptoms being typical of the disease, 57 even when lesions are extensive (Figure 1) .	./cache/cord-294262-yvbufnf4.txt	./txt/cord-294262-yvbufnf4.txt
