Abstract

Severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections can be associated with several cutaneous lesions, among which maculopapular rash is the most common. A maculopapular rash can also be induced by medications used for Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) treatment. The distinction between viral rash and drug eruption may be difficult especially in case of several medication use for COVID-19. Thus, this study aimed to describe cutaneous manifestations in six patients with COVID-19 and highlight clues for distinguishing SARS-CoV-2-related rash and drug eruption. Between March and June 2020, 1,492 patients were hospitalized for COVID-19 and treated with hydroxychloroquine in Marmara University Hospital. Among them, six cases were consulted for possible COVID-19-related rash or drug reaction. Hydroxychloroquine was given as monotherapy in one patient. All six patients developed an erythematous, symmetrical, and maculopapular eruption that mainly affected the trunk, axilla, and genitocrural region, 5-21 days after the onset of COVID-19 symptoms. Five patients developed rash in 4-11 days after treatment completion. Pruritus was severe. All were treated with topical corticosteroids and oral antihistamines, which provided partial relief. The resolution of the eruption was typically slow, which took a few weeks. A long period between the COVID-19 symptoms and the eruption, as well as slow recovery, is in favor of drug eruption. The effects of co-existent viral infection, a well-known promoting drug eruption factor, in facilitating adverse drug reaction in patients with COVID-19 needs further observations and research

Özet

Şiddetli akut solunum yolu sendromu-koronavirüs-2 (SARS-CoV-2) enfeksiyonu çeşitli kutanöz lezyonlara sebep olabilir. Bunlar içerisinde en sık görüleni makülopapüler döküntüdür. Makülopapüler döküntü, Koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 (COVİD-19) hastalığının tedavisi için kullanılan ilaçlarla da indüklenebilir. COVİD-19 hastalığı için çeşitli ilaçların kullanıldığı durumlarda, viral döküntü ile ilaç erüpsiyonu arasında ayırım yapmak zor olabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, COVİD-19 olan altı hastada kutanöz bulguları tanımlamak ve SARS-CoV-2 ile ilişkili döküntü ile ilaç erüpsiyonunu ayırt etmek için ipuçlarını vurgulamaktır. Mart ve Haziran 2020 arasında, Marmara Üniversitesi Hastanesi’ne yatırılarak hidroksiklorokin ile tedavi edilen 1.492 COVİD-19 olgusu içinde, olası COVİD-19 döküntüsü veya ilaç reaksiyonu olan altı tanesi konsülte edildi. Bir hastada hidroksiklorokin monoterapi olarak verilmişti. Altı hastanın tümünde, COVİD-19 semptomlarının başlangıcından 5 ile 21 gün sonra, başlıca gövdeyi, aksillayı ve genitokrural bölgeyi etkileyen, eritematöz, simetrik, makülopapüler bir erüpsiyon gelişmişti. Beş hastada, tedavinin tamamlanmasından 4 ile 11 gün sonra döküntü ortaya çıkmıştı. Kaşıntı şiddetliydi. Hastaların tümü, topikal kortikosteroidler ve oral antihistaminiklerle kısmi düzelme gösterdi. Erüpsiyonun düzelmesi tipik olarak yavaş olup birkaç hafta sürdü. COVİD-19 semptomları ile erüpsiyonun ortaya çıkışı arasındaki zamanın uzun olması ve yavaş düzelme, ilaç erüpsiyonu lehinedir. Eşlik eden viral enfeksiyonun ilaç erüpsiyonu ortaya çıkışını kolaylaştırıcı bir faktör olduğu iyi bilinmektedir. COVİD-19 hastalarında da viral enfeksiyon varlığında ilaç reaksiyonu ortaya çıkışının kolaylaşabileceği konusu, ileri gözlemler ve araştırmalarla gösterilmelidir
