ABSTRACT
The first case of infection by the virus SARS-CoV-2 was reported in China in the late 2019. The disease caused by this virus was called COVID-19 and was declared as a global pandemic by World Health Organization in March 2020. Among the consequences caused by the virus, some dermatological pathologies have been reported, such as Telogen effluvium (TE). In this review we will address the relation between Telogen effluvium and COVID-19. Material and methods: All literature related to Telogen effluvium and COVID-19 was searched in PubMed. Results: Since the beginning of the pandemic, the number of patients diagnosed with TE has increased. This is explained on one hand by the infection itself of the virus, generating a proinflammatory and procoagulant answer that lead to TE. On the other hand, it can be explained due to the stress caused by the lockdowns and the psychological consequences of a global pandemic. Also, the therapies used to treat the infection may increase the severity of the TE. The relation between TE and Covid-19 is not totally clear yet, but it is important due to the great impact that generates in the lives of the patients. (AU)

IINTRODUCCIÓN: Las alteraciones cutáneas asociadas a la Enfermedad de Parkinson (EP) constituyen un área poco estudiada. OBJETIVOS: Describir las alteraciones cutáneas de un grupo de pacientes con EP y su asociación a parámetros cutáneos funcionales (sebo y humedad). PACIENTES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio observacional descriptivo prospectivo de pacientes con EP evaluados entre los meses de febrero y octubre del 2010. RESULTADOS: Se observó dermatitis seborreica (DS) en un 9,58 por ciento, no correlacionándose con seborrea (p=0,415), tiempo de evolución (p=0,338) ni severidad de la EP (p=0,787). Además, se observó un 6.84 por ciento de cáncer de piel no melanoma. La sebometría se asoció de forma inversa con la edad y mayores dosis de L-dopa. La higrometría no se asoció con tiempo de evolución, severidad de la EP ni fluctuaciones motoras. CONCLUSIONES: Los pacientes con EP evaluados tienen una mayor frecuencia de cáncer de piel no melanoma y DS, sin embargo, se necesitan más estudios para determinar su real asociación.
INTRODUCTION: Skin disorders associated with Parkinsons disease (PD) are a poorly studied area. OBJECTIVES: To describe skin changes in a group of PD patients and its association with cutaneous functional parameters (sebum and humidity). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Descriptive prospective observational study of PD patients evaluated between February and October 2010. RESULTS: Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) was observed in 9.58 percent and not correlated with seborrhea (p = 0.415), duration (p = 0.338) and severity of PD (p = 0.787). In addition, a 6.84 percent of non-melanoma skin cancer was observed. Sebometry was inversely associated with age and higher doses of L-dopa. Humidity was not associated with time of evolution, severity of PD or motor fluctuations. CONCLUSIONS: The evaluated patients with PD have a higher frequency of non-melanoma skin cancer and SD. However, more studies are needed to establish their real association.
