New-onset guttate psoriasis secondary to COVID-19.

ABSTRACT

SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is associated with flares of psoriasis in patients with well-documented disease. Both viral infection and medications used for treatment, like hydroxychloroquine, were incriminated. Herein, we report the case of a 25-year-old male patient who presented a first-onset guttate psoriasis following a COVID-19 infection. We have not found previous descriptions of de novo guttate psoriasis post-COVID-19.
