Specialists of the G. N. Gabrichevsky Moscow Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology (MNIIEM) named an unusual symptom of the COVID-19 omicron strain. About it informs “Russian newspaper”.
According to the Deputy Director for Clinical Work of the G. N. Gabrichevsky MNIIEM, Doctor of Medical Sciences Tatyana Ruzhentsova, after infection, many patients develop a rash. This, in her opinion, indicates the spread of infection throughout the body with damage directly to skin cells or blood vessels.
The rash may appear as pinkish, reddish, or bluish patches, sometimes as bumps or vesicles that resemble prickly heat. In some patients, the rash is similar to hives. Some patients have itching, others have swelling, and others have no sensations. As a rule, the rash resolves with the use of the main therapy against coronavirus infection.

Experts believe that skin rashes indicate the need for more active use of antiviral, antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory and detoxifying agents prescribed by a doctor.
