Bilateral Chilblain-like Lesions of the Toes Characterized by Microvascular Remodeling in Adolescents During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Key Points Question Are chilblain-like lesions of the toes associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection or is the association merely temporal? Findings This case series of 17 adolescents found that chilblain-like lesions of the toes emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic in otherwise healthy adolescents without signs of SARS-CoV-2 infection or other inflammatory, autoimmune, or thrombophilic phenomena. Meaning These results suggest that chilblain-like lesions are not associated with systemic or localized SARS-CoV-2 infection.
