COVID-19 “The skin is expresses” Behavior in the Pediatric Population

Abstract

The current situation in Honduras and worldwide has changed dramatically with the appearance of a new type of coronavirus that produces Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) (Covid 19). What was initially believed to cause symptoms similar to a simple cold or other common viral respiratory diseases, has evolved and caused catastrophic damage with innumerable human and economic losses. There have been many forms of presentation of the recent coronavirus, which has shown in multiple case reports worldwide that it attacks different systems, such as the gastrointestinal, respiratory, cardiac and skin systems in different age groups.

However, the condition that appears in some cases in the pediatric population is much less severe, with very mild manifestations such as rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, fatigue, fever, cough, among others. (1) There are also reports of positive COVID-19 cases who initially manifested a skin rash without respiratory symptoms; these cutaneous pictures could be the prelude to an infected patient and in view of this suspicion, the transmission of the disease can be prevented, as well as establishing the diagnosis and timely treatment
