Acral Cutaneous Manifestations during COVID-19 Outbreak
Journal Title: Journal of Dermatology Research - Year 2020, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
We describe a patient with multiple cutaneous lesions resembling chilblains affecting her feet. She was one of 5 patients with these findings that we have seen during the last week, 4 of them in Venice, Italy, one of them in Barcelona, Spain. A 15-year-old girl with no relevant clinical history presented with reddish asymptomatic spots on her feet. No one in her family nor social environment has been diagnosed by COVID-19 since confinement. On examination, we observed the presence of chilblain-like vasculitical aspects such as microtrombotic-like reddish and purpuric macules (Fig. 1). The girl had no symptoms associated with upper respiratory tract infections, nor myalgia, fever nor headache. We performed fast serology PCR testing on the patient, which provided negative results. Four other patients with similar skin findings (and no other symptoms) were seen at the Pediatric Dermatology unit in Venice, Italy. PCR swab tests in these patients were negative for COVID-19 in all cases In the past week, we have seen 5 patients affected by a new dermatological manifestation, all coinciding with the outbreak of COVID-19 infection throughout the world.
