          Abstract

          RESUMEN La infección por SARS-CoV-2 se caracteriza por manifestaciones múltiples, entre las que las más habituales son la fiebre, la tos y la dificultad respiratoria. Sin embargo, se ha observado la presencia, cada vez más frecuente, de diferentes lesiones cutáneas que pueden persistir durante el curso de toda la enfermedad, constituyendo la principal o única sintomatología en determinados casos. No se ha demostrado que la presencia ni el grado de afectación de estas manifestaciones cutáneas estén relacionados con el pronóstico. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 25 años, con fiebre de cinco días de evolución, acompañada de clínica respiratoria. Tras la desaparición de dicha sintomatología, comenzó con un exantema maculopapular, de doce días de duración. La aparición de nuevas enfermedades, especialmente con la gravedad e importancia epidemiológica de la infección ocasionada por SARS-CoV-2, obliga al especialista en Medicina de Familia a considerar en su sospecha diagnóstica cualquier tipo de sintomatología, aunque no se incluya entre la que habitualmente caracteriza a la nueva patología.

          ABSTRACT SARS-CoV-2 virus infection is characterized by multiple manifestations, among which fever, cough, and shortness of breath are the most frequent. However, an increasing presence of different skin lesions has been observed, which may persist over the whole course of the disease, and which in certain cases are the main or only symptom. The connection of the presence or the degree of affectation of these cutaneous manifestations with prognosis has not been confirmed. We present the case of a 25-year-old woman, who had had fever for five days, together with respiratory symptoms. After those symptoms had resolved, a maculopapular rash appeared, lasting for twelve days. The emergence of new diseases, especially those with the severity and epidemiological significance of the SARS-CoV-2 infection, compels the Family Medicine specialist to consider any type of symptomatology in their suspected diagnosis, even if it is not included among the usual symptoms of the new disease.

          The epidemiology and pathogenesis of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak

          Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is caused by SARS-COV2 and represents the causative agent of a potentially fatal disease that is of great global public health concern. Based on the large number of infected people that were exposed to the wet animal market in Wuhan City, China, it is suggested that this is likely the zoonotic origin of COVID-19. Person-to-person transmission of COVID-19 infection led to the isolation of patients that were subsequently administered a variety of treatments. Extensive measures to reduce person-to-person transmission of COVID-19 have been implemented to control the current outbreak. Special attention and efforts to protect or reduce transmission should be applied in susceptible populations including children, health care providers, and elderly people. In this review, we highlights the symptoms, epidemiology, transmission, pathogenesis, phylogenetic analysis and future directions to control the spread of this fatal disease.
