Only genital aphthae and erythema nodosum were more frequent in females. On the other hand papulopustular eruptions, thrombophlebitis, ocular, neurologic, pulmonary and vascular involvement were more frequent in males. While female patients had the best prognosis, male patients had a worse overall prognosis than females.

Mucocutaneous lesions are the hallmarks of the disease, and especially oral ulcers precede other manifestations. The increase in clinical severity score is more pronounced in patients without regular treatment and follow-up. Male sex and a younger age at onset are associated with more severe disease.

Background Cutaneous manifestations of COVID‐19 disease have not yet been fully described. Objectives To describe cutaneous manifestations of COVID‐19 disease in hospitalized patients. Methods We examined the cutaneous manifestations of 210 hospitalized patients. Results Cutaneous findings were observed during COVID‐19 infection in 52 of the patients. Lesions may be classified as erythematous scaly rash (32.7%), maculopapular rash (23%), urticarial lesions (13.5%), petechial purpuric rash (7.7%), necrosis (7.7%), enanthema and apthous stomatitis (5.8%), vesicular rash (5.8%), pernio (1.9%) and pruritus (1.9%). Cutaneous manifestations were observed statistically significantly more in certain age groups: patients of 55 to 64 and 65 to 74 years of age complained of more cutaneous manifestations than the other age groups. As for gender, there was no significant difference between male and female patients in terms of cutaneus findings. The relationship between comorbidity and dermatological finding status was statistically significant. The relationship increases linearly according to the comorbidities. According the statistical results the patients who were hospitalized in the intensive care unit had a higher risk of having cutaneous findings due to COVID‐19 infection. Conclusions With this study we may highlight the importance of overlooked dermatological findings in patients that are hospitalized. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
