Abstract

SARS-CoV-2, is followed by several manifestations, such as fever, cough, respiratory distress syndrome and mucocutaneous lesions such as papules, urticaria, vasculitic purpura and erythema multiform. Case: A 22-year old woman was diagnosed with COVID-19. Considering the skin and oral lesions, erythema multiform was suggested as the most likely diagnosis. Oral valaciclovir was administered. Discussion: Erythema multiforme were reported in some patients with COVID-19. Its pathophysiology is not yet completely understood, but it seems there is a lymphocyte-mediated hypersensitivity reaction to SARS-CoV-2 antigens presenting in the skin. Conclusion: Mucocutaneous and oral lesions might be the first manifestations of COVID-19. Therefore, during the pandemic, it is prudent to consider this virus as a differential diagnosis once we encounter oral ulceration. © 2021 Future Medicine Ltd.. All rights reserved.
