Abstract
Objective: To introduce a case report of a patient developing guttate psoriasis following a COVID-19 infection. The case report reviews the patient presentation, diagnosis, treatment plan, and reviews current literature. The overall goal of this case report is to inform medical providers that COVID-19 may cause guttate psoriasis. This is important because guttate psoriasis can be induced by streptococcus bacterial infections and less commonly viral infections. A comprehensive literature search using the key words “guttate psoriasis and COVID-19 infection,” “guttate psoriasis post viral infection,” and “guttate psoriasis and COVID-19 vaccination,” was conducted using databases including Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect.
