Or a rash that looks like a network.In addition, there were reports of red-purple rash on the hands and feet in patients with this disease.
From experience at the Bamrasnaradura Institute, he has treated more than 200 patients in this group in the last 4 months. We also found patients with skin rashes. But it is found in less than 5%, mainly due to the side effects of the drugs used to treat the disease. The number of patients with rashes suspected of being caused by the disease is not less than that of the drug. With a rash that has a red rash that recovered on its own at a later time, however, it is still necessary to closely monitor the rash symptoms in this group of patients.
