| Abstrakt: | Erythrodermic psoriasis (EP) is an autoimmune condition commonly manifested as cutaneous lesions, such as well-demarcated, erythematous, scaly plaques, notably on the extensor surfaces but sometimes present on the scalp, palms, and soles. Various triggering events are known to initiate flare-ups of previously well-controlled/dormant EP. In recent literature, the association of acutely exacerbated EP after symptomatic infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been well-described. Here, we present a case of EP with increased flaking and desquamation of the skin of the whole body (most notably on the palms and soles) after three weeks of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection without any other evident trigger. We aim to describe the symptoms as well as the proper management of a patient afflicted with erythrodermic psoriasis in hopes of aiding future clinicians in the prompt diagnosis and treatment of such a patient.
