Abstract

Objective: To describe the dermatological manifestations resulting from SARS-CoV-2 / COVID infection - 19. Methods: This is a systematic review, carried out through the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (PUBMED / MEDLINE), Latin American Literature and Caribbean in Health Sciences (LILACS), on the website of the Pan American Health Organization / World Health Organization (PAHO / WHO), and Cochrane Library in May 2020. Results: Since 28 papers were found, 12 were excluded articles, 7 for not answering the conductive question, 3 for being unavailable and 2 for being duplicated. The sample consisted of 16 articles, all from the PUBMED website, published between January and May 2020. The skin manifestations observed were; erythematous rash, generalized urticaria and varicella-like vesicles. Final considerations: The studied literature points to the importance that these skin signs can offer at this time of the pandemic, since these patients can unconsciously transmit SARS-CoV-2 to other people and contribute to the spread of COVID-19 infection.
