Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a new coronavirus
responsible for the pandemic named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The
disease causes SARS with a significant morbidity and mortality. We provide a
review with a focus on COVID-19 in dermatology. We discuss triage of suspected
infectious patients, protection of medical doctors and nurses. We discuss the
available data on cutaneous symptoms, although disease-specific symptoms have yet
not been observed. COVID-19 is a challenge for the treatment of dermatologic
patients, either with severe inflammatory disorders or with skin cancer. The
consequences for systemic treatment are obvious but it will be most important to
collect the clinical data for a better decision process. Last but not least,
education in dermatology for students will not be temporarily possible in the
classical settings. COVID-19, although not a skin disease, by itself has an
immense impact on dermatology.
