Is there a link between guttate psoriasis and SARS-CoV-2? A series of three cases
| Resumo: | Guttate psoriasis (GP) is an acute form of psoriasis that is associated with bacterial infections, mainly streptococcal, which cause superantigen-induced immune activation. Viral upper respiratory infections may also be implicated, typically occurring two to three weeks before the onset of guttate lesions. We report three cases of GP following Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine. |
