Microbiological confirmation tests may not be an effective diagnostic technique for COVID-related cutaneous manifestations or that attributed lesions are not related to COVID-19. Confounding factors such as adverse drug reaction, serological cross-reactions with other viruses, the low production of antibodies in asymptomatic or mild forms of COVID-19 or its rapid disappearance, increase diagnostic uncertainty.
