Cutaneous diseases are often found in obese patients but, to our knowledge, mucinous disorders have not been previously reported in association with obesity. Two cases of localized lichen myxoedematosus (papular mucinosis) in two women with morbid obesity are described. Both patients underwent a low-calorie diet for a 1-year period in one case, and for 4 months in the other one, as the only treatment. There was complete resolution of cutaneous lesions at the same time that an important weight loss was observed. Nevertheless, although spontaneous regression is not frequent, it could not be disregarded in either of these two cases.
La COVID-19 es una infección con un curso clínico heterogéneo. La mayoría de los casos se presenta asíntomática o paucisintomática. Sin embargo, algunos pacientes pueden desarrollar complicaciones inmunológicas como el síndrome de activación macrofágica, que resulta en una tormenta de citocinas, y el síndrome de distréss respiratorio agudo.
