Specimens to be tested for COVID-19 are seen at LifeLabs after being logged upon receipt at the company's lab, in Surrey, B.C., on Thursday, March 26, 2020. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl DyckTORONTO -- A new study has found that some 'long-hauler' COVID-19 patients, who experience persistent symptoms months after infection, suffer from prolonged skin problems including various rashes and painful lesions on the hands and feet dubbed "COVID toes.
The analysis found that dermatological symptoms of COVID-19 on average last 12 days, but can persist for up to 150 days in some patients. The analysis reported that 'long-hauler' COVID-19 patients with hives or urticarial found the symptom lasted for a median of five days, while papulosquamous eruptions, also known as eczema or rosea, persisted for 20 days.
While "COVID toes" often appear 1-4 weeks after initial infection, 15 per cent were found to still be PCR positive for COVID-19 after the fact.Some skin symptoms, such as retiform purpura or skin lesions, were associated with severe cases of COVID-19 since 100 per cent of patients with this symptom were hospitalized, according to the study.
"This data adds to our knowledge about how COVID-19 can affect multiple different organ systems, even after patients have recovered from their acute infection. The skin can provide a visual window into inflammation that may be going on elsewhere in the body," Freeman said in a press release.
So like a rash or your skin literally falling off like a scene from the walking dead Or are these just bed sores because most of the 'Long-Hauler' Covid patients are between 80-90 and are in bed 24/7
COVID19Ontario COVID19 Scientists have found that some long-term effects include heart damage; neurological issues & here they talk abt skin symptoms Let's be smart & follow public health guidelines 😷 It isn't about losing the life; it's about suffering after having the virus
What comorbidities did these patients have? Any co-relation to the skin symptoms? There is FAR too much information missing from the reporting. The masses are scared sh!tless of Covid and more harm is coming out of 'prevention' than Covid itself. PERSPECTIVE please!
of course
They can apply for free money for rest of life especially if you are a feminist, Free Land of Money imo
It couldn't be from the lack of sunlight and fresh air, could it?
chink desease
HOW IS SWEDEN DOING!
So...high COVID cases in America are the Federal government and Trump’s fault...but in Canada, high cases and a rising death toll are INDIVIDUAL’S and the PROVINCES’S fault NOT the Federal government’s NOR Trudeau’s...why the bizarre DOUBLE standard...?
Propaganda
Oh no! Let’s kill the economy and people’s livelihoods because of a rash. Actually seafood gives me a rash can we please stop selling it in case I’m exposed? Even one life matters!
Did you know that some long-hauler flu patients suffer from same or similar problems?
'long hauler'. The BS is oozing out of every pore of these scumbags. Every day a new catchphrase portending doom and deadly gloom. Scaremongering is tedious and laughable but weak people lap it up and beg for more. What happened to 'two weeks to flatten the cheesecake?'
Why are you not reporting on the long term side effects of other viruses? They exist as well. These are not new.
Oh god. That means I've had it for years!!
Any studies on how many deaths as a result of lack of health care due to covid lockdowns and refocused $$ to covid
That's from the hospital stay.
