He endorsed two known exposures to COVID-19 and had previously tested negative twice for the virus. The patient additionally complained of a whole-body, pruritic rash that presented six days after his initial symptoms. A workup was completed for the patient's fever and labs only revealed a potassium of 3.3 mEq/L.
