Postoperative Cutaneous Manifestations as the First Presentation of COVID-19 Infection or a Postvaccination Sequel

Since its first emergence, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) took the world by surprise, causing more than two million deaths and 100 million infections to date.

description Since its first emergence, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) took the world by surprise, causing more than two million deaths and 100 million infections to date. The virus’s most prevalent clinical symptoms have become well known, yet the rarer symptoms, on the other hand, need to be more widely recognized. Various studies have reflected the possibilities of potential skin lesions being the presenting signs of COVID-19 infection. Acquaintance with the cutaneous presentations of COVID-19 may help in early diagnosis and management of infected patients. Herein we report two cases that presented for plastic surgical interventions in which skin manifestations were the first indicators of COVID-19 infection or postvaccination sequel. The cases were operated upon in different hospitals by different surgical teams.
