t the end of 2019, a novel coronavirus called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was identified as the cause of an outbreak of pneumonia and severe acute respiratory syndrome in Wuhan, China. 1 On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) a public health emergency of international concern. 2 Although SARS-CoV-2 infection can affect individuals of any age, severe illness is uncommon in children. Recently, possible COVID-19-related skin changes have been described: mostly urticaria, drug-related eruptions, and chickenpox-like vesicles. 3 In addition, cutaneous lesions referred to as acute acro-ischemia have been reported as a possible sign of SARS-CoV-2 infection in adolescents and children. 4 In this article, we report an outbreak of acral skin lesions observed between April 9 and April 15, 2020.

Candida auris is an emergent fungus that has become a global threat due to its multidrug resistance, mortality, and transmissibility. These unique features make it different from other Candida species, but we still do not fully know the degree of virulence and, especially, the host-pathogen interactions.
