Cutaneous manifestations such as urticaria, erythemato-papular or erythemato-vesicular rash, and chilblains—sometimes referred to as “Covid toes”—should considered key diagnostic signs of coronavirus, according to a large new study by researchers at King’s College London.
Link between Covid-19 infection and “Covid toes” strengthened
A new study has strengthened the association between chilblains or “Covid toes” and Covid-19 infection. Researchers said that the virus was found in the skin biopsies of patients who did not test positive for the virus using throat swabs and antibody measurements.
Case study identifies foot lesions as potential Covid-19 symptom
A case study of a 13-year-old boy found evidence that acro-ischemia manifesting in the form of lesions on the toes may be a symptom in severe cases of Covid-19. Researchers in Italy investigated the case of a boy, who was observed to have foot lesions on Mar. 8, 2020.
