Abstract
Objective: To analyze publications on dermatological manifestations in the infection by COVID-19, in order to contribute to the early diagnosis and to encourage the realization of new studies on this theme. Methods: This is an integrative literature review, based on articles published between the years 2020 and 2021 in the databases National Library of Medicine (PubMED), Google Scholar and Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS). The texts were found using the descriptors "manifestations", "cutaneous", "COVID-19", "Brazil", "manifestations", "cutaneous" and "Brazil", using the Boolean connective "AND" to better filter the results that would be displayed. Results: The most prevalent skin lesions were rashes, hives and skin rash, while pruritus was the symptom reported in most searches. There was variation in the chronology of the appearance of dermatological manifestations. Final considerations: Skin lesions represent an important repercussion of the infection caused by SARS-CoV-2. The early recognition of these signs allows the diagnostic hypothesis of COVID-19 infection to be raised in the early stages of the disease by dermatologists and primary care professionals, enabling the provision of support measures in a timely manner and avoiding the overload of more specialized levels of care for health.
