Abstract
Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is associated with an increased risk of vasculitis and thrombotic vasculopathy. Dermatologically, this can translate to severe cutaneous manifestations, such as retiform purpura and acral ischemia[SUP]1[/SUP] . But whether these eruptions are specific to SARS-CoV-2 infection is yet to be determined[SUP]2,3[/SUP] .
