Infection à COVID-19 révélée par une poussée de psoriasis chez un Camerounais âgé : à propos d’un cas

The impact of COVID-19 on classical dermatosis and on patients receiving immunosuppressive for chronical skin disease is yet to be known. We report a case of a 76-year-old patient consulting for a flare-up of psoriasis, developing in a context of fever and dyspnea not responding to classic antimalarial and anticough treatment. The chest scanner performed revealed areas of multifocal, bilateral and asymmetric frosted glasses, confirming with anamnestic data and clinical evidence a COVID-19 infection. The evolution was favorable both at the pulmonary and skin levels after 10 days. We reported a specific case of COVID-19 revealed by an outbreak of psoriasis. The immunological similarities between these two conditions suggest that COVID-19 infection may have played a role in triggering the flare.
