Immune thrombocytopenic purpura associated with coronavirus disease 2019 infection in an asymptomatic young healthy patient
Resumen:
Cutaneous findings in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection (SARS-CoV-2) are more common every day. Findings include, among others, pseudo-chilblains, vesicular, urticarial, and maculopapular eruptions. Livedo or necrosis is less common and, most importantly, suggests occlusive vascular disease usually related to severe coronavirus infection.1 Petechiae/purpuric rash can resemble dengue fever or appear as a morbilliform rash. This rash can spare palmoplantar skin and mucosa or presents with confluent erythematous macules, papules, and petechiae in asymmetric peri flexural distribution. It could represent a sign of milder coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease in which differential diagnosis includes drug-induced or viral rash and not necessarily a warning sign of thrombocytopenia.
