- The study investigates the dermatological manifestations of COVID-19 in children, particularly noting the prevalence of chilblain-like lesions among infected and non-infected patients, attributed to a pronounced interferon response in younger individuals.
- Conducted over six months, the research involved 137 patients aged 1 to 18 from 23 Italian dermatological units, who exhibited a variety of skin lesions primarily on the feet.
