Introduction: Cutaneous manifestations have been associated with the COVID-19 infection with two different patterns Inflammatory/exanthematous eruptions and vasculopathic/vasculitic patterns. Materials and method: We considered 126 healthcare workers who tested positive for Sars-CoV2 in the period between March 2020 and January 2021. Those subjects were asked to fulfill a telephonic questionnaire regarding the presence and characteristics of skin symptoms that happened during the period of positivity. Conclusion: The present article aims to demonstrate a causal connection between the appearance of cutaneous and vasculitic manifestations and the positivity of the nasopharynx swab and the title of the antibodies generated after the infection. © 2022 A.
