Abstract
Several skin manifestations have been reported since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic: chilblains-like, livedoid lesions, urticaria-like, pseudo-Kawasaki disease, and others. Histopathologic images of these lesions most often show aspects of endothelitis, images similar to autoimmune vasculitis. Cutaneous lesions are often negative at RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 virus.We reviewed recent articles on the mechanisms of COVID-19 and we synthesized main...
