Dermatologic afflictions have been summarized into different categories several times, with the most recent analysis identifying six clinical patterns: urticaria, maculopapular-morbilliform eruption, papulovesicular exanthem, chilblain-like acral pattern, livedo reticularis-livedo racemose pattern, and purpuric 'vasculitic' pattern.(2) In children, the dermatologic features appear to occur before or concomitantly with other COVID-19 manifestations. 24 Recently, nail changes have been identified in patients with COVID-19 manifesting as a convex half-moon shaped erythematous band at the distal margin of the lunula and coined 'the red half-moon nail sign.' 25, 26 In the United Kingdom (UK), researchers analyzed data from users of the COVID Symptom Study application and noted 8.8% of 336,847 users, with a positive SARS-CoV-2 viral swab, reported a skin eruption. ./cache/cord-324752-t50bg7pq.txt ./txt/cord-324752-t50bg7pq.txt
