Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, is currently spreading worldwide, causing the worst pandemic experienced this century. During the present outbreak, reports have been accumulating that various types of cutaneous manifestations were observed in COVID-19 patients. We read with interest the recent article by Amatore et al. describing a COVID-19 case who presented with a febrile rash consisting of annular, polycyclic, and circinate erythema, presumably specific to COVID-19.
Keywords: COVID-19; cutaneous manifestations; differential diagnosis; eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis.
