Acral lesions in a pediatric population during the COVID-19 pandemic: a case series of 36 patients from a single hospital in Spain

         

摘要

Background To describe the cutaneous acral findings in a pediatric population noticed during this pandemic.Methods A retrospective descriptive study was performed collecting data on 36 patients under 14 years old,presenting suspicious acral skin manifestations for coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19).Results Patients were mostly male(63.8%).The mean age was 11.11 years.66.67%of patients showed erythematous papules,and 44.44%purpuric macules.Feet were aifected in 97.22%of patients and hands in 5.55%.Lesions were asymptomatic in 50%of patients.30.55%of patients showed extracutaneous findings,preceding skin lesions in 12.62 days.Seven patients underwent specific severe acute coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2)testing;all of these patients tested negative.Conclusions The association between these symptoms and SARS-CoV-2 remains unclear.We recommend using these manifestations as a sign of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children.This could lead to the examination of asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic children so that contagions may be avoided.
