Abstract

Since its outbreak in December 2019, a consistent number of case reports have been published describing a complex spectrum of skin manifestations associated with COVID-19. We report a first observation of demodicosis of the scalp after a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) infection.
