Late-Onset Urticarial and Erythema Multiforme-Like Eruption Following SARS-CoV-2 Infection
Although SARS-CoV-2 primarily targets the upper respiratory system, its evolving clinical profile has revealed a diverse range of manifestations across multiple organ systems. Emerging evidence increasingly highlights various skin manifestations associated with the virus. This report details the case of a patient who developed a rapidly progressive urticarial dermatosis, characterized by both urticarial and erythema multiforme-like features, five weeks after a SARS-CoV-2 infection. Our objective is to underscore the histologic patterns of late-onset skin eruptions related to SARS-CoV-2, focusing on dermatological complications that can arise beyond the acute phase of the infection.
