The virus is able to attack multiple body systems and cause a variety of clinical problems ranging from asymptomatic to critical cases. Although young individuals are more likely to suffer milder forms of the disease, critical cases also might happen. Recent literature has revealed that, along with other clinical symptoms, skin manifestations have also progressively grown. In Afghanistan where COVID-19 has entered into a third wave, many people do not take the initial mild symptoms seriously to prevent further spreading in the community. We report symptoms of skin rash, fatigue, muscle pain, dry cough and fever at the onset of the disease, followed by rapid lung damage in a 23-year-old young adult, who did not have any preexisting risk factors. This case highlights the importance of urgent skin assessment of the COVID-19 patient complaining of any skin symptoms.Keywords: COVID-19, skin rash, SARS-CoV-2, Kabul, case reportSediqi AWNemat ARaufi NAsady ADove Medical Pressarticlecovid-19skin rashsars-cov-2kabulcase reportMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Medical Case Reports Journal, Vol Volume 14, Pp 761-764 (2021)
