- Abstract
Finally, our patient had undetectable antiphospholipid antibodies, which counter the proposition advanced by Zhang et al. that these antibodies are the source of coagulopathies in COVID-19.8 On another note, this case highlights the considerable role dermatologists have in this pandemic. Penile ischaemia secondary to COVID-19: why should the dermatologist be concerned? Our patient's acral necrosis preceded penile ischaemia, making skin necrosis the first reflection of the ongoing thromboinflammatory process due to COVID-19.
