Review Summarizes Skin Findings of Common Viral Infections

This review article summarizes epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, management, and prevention of common and vaccine-preventable viral infections with dermatologic relevance, including COVID-19, mpox, measles, and rubella. The authors state that advances in antiviral therapies, immunomodulators, vaccination, and post-exposure prophylaxis have improved outcomes for several of these infections, and note that the expanding therapeutic landscape and evolving public health recommendations create a need for an updated evidence-based review for dermatologists. The review emphasizes that recognition of characteristic skin findings and current diagnostic approaches are relevant to early diagnosis and limiting disease transmission.
