“…Nails, as for hair, can reflect the state of health of the patient in recent months, as the nails of the hands grow on average about 2 mm per month [64]. Cases are emerging in which, after infection with SARS-CoV-2, certain changes have been observed in the fingernails and toenails, which are popularly known as "COVID-19 nails" [66]. Although, dermatologically speaking, one could not speak of COVID-19 nails as such, but rather that there are manifestations in the nails because of COVID-19.…”

“…These are horizontal spots and indentations on the surface of the nails that manifest themselves a month or two months after SARS-CoV-2 infection [56]. These lesions appear as small grooves and the longer the involvement lasts, the wider the band becomes, albeit these alterations in the nails can also be triggered later after any important infectious process or in any disease besides COVID-19 [66,67]. In this sense, Beau's lines can appear, in addition to COVID-19 [68], in diseases such as pneumonia or hand, foot, and mouth disease, and are due to the fact that the body is wise and prefers to focus all its functionality on the vital organs, rather than in the secondary ones, such as the nails [64].…”

“…This has been seen in a small group of patients with COVID-19 and is thought to be related to pernio-like lesions. This could occur because SARS-CoV-2 reaches the distal zone and plugs the most superficial capillaries of the skin leading to this type of red lesions [69,70]; (ii) orange transverse lines: in patients in the acute phase of COVID-19, horizontal lines have been visualized, showing a stronger orange color and a red color of the nail bed, whereas in healthy patients the tone is usually pink [66,67].…”

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a multisystem disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), that primarily causes respiratory symptoms. However, an increasing number of cutaneous manifestations associated with this disease have been reported. The aim of this study is to analyze the scientific literature on cutaneous manifestations associated with SARS-CoV-2 by means of a narrative literature review until June 2021. The search was conducted in the following electronic databases: Medline (PubMed), SciELO, and Cochrane Library Plus. The most common cutaneous manifestations in patients with COVID-19 are vesicular eruptions, petechial/purpuric rashes, acral lesions, liveoid lesions, urticarial rash, and maculopapular-erythematous rash. These manifestations may be the first presenting symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection, as is the case with acral lesions, vesicular eruptions, and urticaria. In relation to severity, the presence of liveoid lesions may be associated with a more severe course of the disease. Treatment used for dermatological lesions includes therapy with anticoagulants, corticosteroids, and antihistamines. Knowledge of the dermatologic manifestations associated with SARS-CoV-2 contributes to the diagnosis of COVID-19 in patients with skin lesions associated with respiratory symptoms or in asymptomatic patients. In addition, understanding the dermatologic lesions associated with COVID-19 could be useful to establish a personalized care plan.

Onychomadesis in a COVID-19 patient

We report the case of a 67-year-old woman who developed onychomadesis on 9 of her fingers 2 months after recovering from COVID-19, with subsequent full nail regrowth after 4 months. The development of onychomadesis in COVID-19 is probably related to inhibition of nail proliferation due to fever, direct viral damage, or an inflammatory process associated with endothelial damage and obliterative microangiopathy in the nail matrix area. Clinicians should be aware of nail changes and actively seek them out in patients with COVID-19.

“…Como foram recentemente reconhecidas, ainda não se estabeleceu as manifestações ungueais mais comuns e o perfil de pacientes mais acometidos, sendo perceptível o número extremamente limitado de publicações a respeito nas principais bases de dados internacionais. (Zhao et al, 2020;Wollina et al, 2021) Os sintomas ungueais da COVID-19 representam uma dentre as várias lacunas na compreensão desta infecção emergente. A importância desses sintomas ainda é desconhecida devido à escassez de trabalhos científicos, o que pode prejudicar a avaliação completa dos pacientes com COVID-19 (Singh et al, 2021)…”

Além dos sinais e sintomas clássicos, uma variedade de manifestações em diferentes sistemas orgânicos já foi relatada durante a infecção pelo SARS-CoV-2. Números crescentes de estudos sobre manifestações dermatológicas são encontrados na literatura científica mundial. Em contrapartida, as alterações ungueais ainda são uma lacuna no conhecimento acerca da COVID-19 porque foram recentemente reconhecidas. Considerando o aumento da conscientização acerca das manifestações cutâneas dessa infecção, torna-se vital a investigação das alterações ungueais associadas para favorecer o diagnóstico precoce, intervenções mais precisas e melhores prognósticos nos pacientes com COVID-19. O objetivo é a realização de uma revisão de escopo para expandir o conhecimento sobreas alterações ungueais atribuídas à COVID-19 e o provável processo fisiopatológico que determina seu desenvolvimento. A presente revisão de escopo foi conduzida de acordo com a extensão da estratégia PRISMA-ScR, considerou apenas artigos em inglês publicados entre os anos de 2020 e 2022 no banco de dados PubMed. A estratégia de busca eletrônica usada foi ["nails" AND "COVID-19"]. Foram resgatados 52 estudos e 18 foram incluídas para compor a literatura de base para a revisão. Várias alterações ungueais já foram atribuídas à COVID-19, especificamente lúnulas vermelhas, linhas de Beau, leuconiquia, onicomadese, lesões transversais alaranjadas, COVID-toes, retroníquia múltipla, shorelinenails, unhas de Lindsay e unhas de Terry. É evidente que mais estudos precisam ser feitos para investigar de modo mais detalhado as alterações ungueais por COVID-19 para uma melhor compreensão e para que o manejo delas seja aprimorado.
