Many virus-induced diseases manifest in the skin. The pathophysiology of these infections ‎varies, as ‎do the findings on biopsy. Cutaneous findings may be attributed to a wide range of factors, including ‎direct inoculation, interplay with ‎the host immune system, interference with oncogenic pathways, and ‎other mechanisms. This course ‎will explore current research on specific viral infections, from SARS-‎CoV-2, to ‎select polyomaviruses, human papillomaviruses, herpesviruses, and other rarely ‎encountered viruses. Emphasis will be given to pathophysiology, detection, and patient management ‎and outcomes in cutaneous disease.‎

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:‎

• Differentiate between multiple cutaneous manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 and summarize their ‎histopathological features and detection methods.‎
• ‎Demonstrate greater understanding of the pathophysiology of human papillomavirus ‎infections in terms of oncogenesis and achieving prevention through vaccination.‎
• Apply potential detection methods to cutaneous diseases associated with polyomavirus ‎infections and Epstein-Barr virus infections.‎
