- Abstract
Dear Editor, The new severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has recently been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO).1 The disease was defined as COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019)1 and principally affects the respiratory tract with a clinical scenario ranging from common cold to severe pneumonia. However, little is known on the cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19-positive patients.3-5 We aim to expand our knowledge by reporting four zoster infections in COVID-19-positive patients observed between March and April 2020. Clinical characteristics of 138 hospitalized patients with 2019 novel coronavirus-infected pneumonia in Wuhan, China.
