New Bullous Eruptions in a COVID-19 Positive Patient in an Intensive Care Unit

Abstract

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune blistering disorder that typically occurs in older adults. The etiopathogenesis of BP is unclear, although viral triggers have been reported.1 We present a case of new onset pauci-cellular BP in a patient admitted to Intensive Care Unit from an acute COVID-19 infection. New onset bullous eruptions in the setting of COVID-19 infection should elicit suspicions and consider the differential diagnosis of BP.
