Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the link between skin lesions in children and SARS-CoV-2 infection, while also considering other possible infectious or autoimmune causes.
- Conducted between April and May 2020, the study involved 62 children with skin manifestations, diagnosing SARS-CoV-2 through PCR and serology tests.
- Results showed that those with positive antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 had a higher occurrence of chilblains and vesicular-bullous lesions, whereas generalized rashes were more frequent in those without antibodies, with other pathogens identified in many of the latter.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the connection between skin lesions in children and SARS-CoV-2 infection, while also considering other potential infectious or autoimmune causes.
- A total of 62 children were analyzed, with 14.5% showing positive antibodies for SARS-CoV-2, but no PCR positives detected among those tested.
- Those with positive serology were more likely to exhibit specific skin manifestations like chilblains and vesicular lesions, while those without antibodies showed different types of rashes, suggesting a potential link between certain skin conditions and prior COVID-19 exposure.
