ABSTRACT
COVID-19 manifests itself in patients with damage to many organs and systems of the body, primarily the respiratory and cardiovascular sys-tems. At the same time, there are reports of various manifestations of skin lesions in COVID-19. We present a clinical case of skin lesions in a patient with a severe coronavirus infection. Patient G., 56 years old, was admitted to the «COVID» hospital 10 days after disease on-set. The examination revealed severe respiratory failure with a decrease in blood oxygen saturation to 80% and a specific lesion of the lungs (80%) according to computed tomography. The patient received high doses of oxygen intra-nasally, but later due to low oxygen saturation she was transferred to the intensive care unit where she underwent non-invasive ventilation. The skin lesion developed 1 month after admis-sion to the hospital and manifested itself as small grouped papular rashes on an erythematous background localized on the left thigh and pop-liteal fossa. The appearance of exanthema coincided with the 3rd episode of an increase in the level of C-reactive protein in the blood. When the patient was discharged from the hospital (on the 40th day of hospitalization) with positive dynamics of the general condition a significant decrease in skin rashes was observed. © 2021, Media Sphera Publishing Group.
