Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought innumerable reports of chilblains. The relation between pernio-like acral eruptions and COVID-19 has not been fully elucidated because most reported cases have occurred in patients with negative microbiological tests for SARS-CoV-2.
Methods: A retrospective study of 49 cases of chilblains seen during the first year of the pandemic in a children's hospital in Madrid, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- A study in Madrid examined the skin and mucous membrane symptoms in 50 hospitalized children with COVID-19 from March to November 2020.
- Out of these children, 21 exhibited mucocutaneous symptoms, with common issues including skin rashes, eye inflammation, and red, cracked lips.
- The findings indicated that children with these symptoms were generally older, had worse conditions upon arrival, and faced a significantly higher risk of requiring pediatric intensive care compared to those without mucocutaneous signs.
