dc.description.abstract | COVID toes or chilblain-like skin lesions represent a widespread and specific skin presentation mostly in the feet that may be attributed to COVID-19 infection. They may last for several months. We conducted this study to investigate chilblain-like lesions in children during the COVID-19 pandemic, any predisposition, location, clinical course, and prognosis. We searched Google Scholar, Scopus, and Medline (PubMed) databases using the following keywords: "Coronavirus" OR "COVID-19" AND "Chilblains" OR "Pernio" OR "Perniosis" OR "Children" OR "Cutaneous" OR "skin." The inclusion criteria were: (a) Studies that described the specific vascular skin lesion. (b) Studies that included patients aged >1 month till 18 years. (c) Case reports, case series, retrospective or prospective cohort studies, case-control studies. A total of 28 articles were included. The total number of children with chiblain-like lesions (CLL) was 433. The mean age of children presenting CLL during the COVID-19 pandemic was estimated as 12.58 ± 2.15. Of note, 53.6% of them were male. The nasopharyngeal SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR test and anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were mostly negative for the virus. In conclusion, it is crucial to be familiar with various presentations of COVID-19 infection and their clinical significance to approach the earliest diagnosis, immediate treatment, estimate the prognosis, and finally isolate the patients to prevent spreading. Chilblain-like lesions as a possible cutaneous presentation of COVID-19 in children may last several months with the indolent course. | en_US |
