Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the growing number of cases with skin manifestations related to COVID-19, we have decided to dedicate a Special Issue to this subject. This Special Issue aims to cover these cutaneous lesions, which may be quite diverse. The major clinical forms described were maculopapular eruptions, acral areas of erythema with vesicles or pustules (pseudochilblain), urticarial lesions, other vesicular eruptions, and livedo or necrosis. The histopathological features of these lesions also vary, corresponding to the diversity of clinical manifestations. These features underline the nature of epidermal and dermal vascular lesions—and in severe cases, microvascular injury and thrombosis—associated with COVID-19 and provide important clues to their pathological mechanisms.
