- Abstract
COVID-19 Disease has a wide clinical spectrum from asymptomatic infection to critically ill, a small number of COVID-19 patients experience a severe illness that can result in death. Less information is available in the literature regarding cutaneous lesions in COVID-19 disease. A 42-year-old male patient with no known disease came to our emergency department after fever, dry cough, weakness, rashes, and headache complaints that started 3 days ago. In this article, we aimed to report this case to raise awareness that COVID-19 infection can be accompanied by other diseases such as zona zoster.
