Figure 2 Clinical course for each patient.
For patient 1 the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on nasopharyngeal swab performed on May 5 came back as positive for the N gene (33 cycle threshold). Similarly, for patient 2, the nasopharyngeal swab performed 2 d before the rash onset (April 22, 2020) also came back as positive for the N gene (36 cycle threshold). For patient 3, PCR for SARS-CoV-2 on nasopharyngeal swab performed a week before the rash onset was negative, while the one performed a week later (May 16, 2020, the same day of rash healing) was positive only for the N gene (37 cycle threshold).
