ROQUE PEREZ, Lázaro; GONZALEZ ESCUDERO, Mabel  y  PEREZ CARBALLIDO, Liz. Cutaneous manifestations secondary to the COVID-19 pandemic. Case presentation. Rev haban cienc méd [online]. 2020, vol.19, n.6, e3672.  Epub 10-Ene-2021. ISSN 1729-519X.

Introduction:

The primary cutaneous manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection are grouped into five clinical dermatologic patterns. However, the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of skin conditions also include a worsening of pre-existing skin diseases, an increase in the incidence of stress-related dermatoses and others related to physical-chemical factors.

Objective:

To present a patient with ocular herpes simplex and alopecia areata of the beard as secondary cutaneous manifestations to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Case presentation:

Twenty-two-year-old male patient, medical student, with personal pathological history of apparent health who is conducting the active investigation of respiratory symptoms in support of the confrontation with COVID-19. Primary ocular infection with herpes simplex virus type 1 with recurrence 15 days later as well as alopecia areata of the beard in single plaque were diagnosed approximately 8 weeks after the first case of COVID-19 was diagnosed in Cuba.

Conclusions:

Herpes simplex and alopecia areata are skin manifestations secondary to the COVID-19 pandemic. The changes in lifestyle that this disease has caused may be the triggering factor for these stress-related dermatoses to which health care personnel are more vulnerable than the rest of the population.
