Besides the common symptoms in COVID-19, it has been thought to be a more imperative measure to identify the extraordinary manifestations of the illness, which would be more helpful to improve clinical management. In the current report, a 39-year-old woman and a 44-year-old man showed reactive cervical and preauricular lymphadenopathies, respectively, upon a range of the common symptoms of the disease. Interestingly, none of them showed the symptoms of lower respiratory tract infection as well. Notably, a herpes-like skin lesion was also observed on the right lower eyelid in one of the positive patients.
