Coronavirus Disease 2019 was initially identified as an infection of the lower respiratory tract but has so far manifested itself with very different symptoms. One of these symptoms is skin lesions associated with an active viral infection that can occur from the onset of infection until treatment. Therefore, observing these skin manifestations can be helpful in diagnosing and managing the disease. Our case is a 56-year-old man who came to the infectious clinic with a chief complaint of skin rashes. The patient was in good general condition on arrival and had no evidence of systemic symptoms of infection, such as fever, body aches, and cough. However, the PCR test for COVID-19 was positive. Although many dermatological findings have been reported with Coronavirus Disease, this case has reported with no symptoms other than skin manifestations that describe a viral infection. It seems that this disease can cause unexpected symptoms, even in mild cases. Therefore, it is better to have the COVID-19 in the corner of your mind when examining people with these symptoms.

Numerous symptoms and complications of COVID-19 include pneumothorax as a rare but potentially-lethal condition. The present case report involved a pregnant woman with COVID-19 presenting with pneumothorax. A 30-year-old pregnant woman with COVID-19 and a gestational age of 32 weeks presented to our hospital with dyspnea, coughs and fever. The rales initially heard in both lungs continued to be heard only in the left lung after 24 hours. Pneumothorax was confirmed through radiology. The emergency cesarean section performed to avoid the potential detrimental effects of the infection on the fetus caused no breathing episodes in the biophysical profile. The patient recovered postpartum without complications and both the mother and the newborn were discharged 12 days later. Spontaneous pneumothorax is a rare complication in COVID-19 pregnant patients that can emerge at any stage of the disease.
