Abstract

This case report describes a skin rash presented in a patient diagnosed with COVID-19 in Urmia, Iran. The patient was virtually connected to our clinic in Calgary, Alberta. The clinical manifestation in this case is an example of cutaneous lesions in patients with COVID-19 and can be used for an educational purpose. All data has been collected with the patient’s written consent.

This clinical case study advocates for more data collection on the skin lesions in patients with COVID-19.
