Abstract

COVID-19: coronavirus disease 2019 EN: erythema nodosum HIV: human immunodeficiency virus IL: interleukin SARS-CoV-2: severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 INTRODUCTION With the emergence of the novel SARS-CoV-2, we have learned a great deal about the potential cutaneous sequelae following infection. The variable dermatologic complications reported from viral infection thus far include pernio type lesions, urticarial eruptions, vesicular eruptions, and more. Here, we report an atypical presentation of erythema nodosum (EN) following infection with SARS-CoV-2. To our knowledge, there have only been 3 other reports of EN secondary to SARS-CoV-2 infection, also known as COVID-19.
