Abstract
We have read with great interest the articles regarding cutaneous manifestations in Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. Studies showed 20.4% of COVID-19 patients developed cutaneous manifestations. COVID-19 causes vascular endothelial injury, vasculitis and prothrombotic state which might be the underlying cause of hemorrhagic cutaneous manifestations, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and multiple organ failures. To date, hemorrhagic cutaneous manifestations reported are chilblain-like lesion, purpura to ecchymosis, livedo reticularis, and dry gangrene. We present a case of ecchymosis in COVID-19-positive ICU hospitalized patient.
Keywords: COVID-19; Cutaneous manifestation; DIC; Ecchymosis; Vasculopathy.
